After seeing how popular Blifaloo's guide to virus removal and prevention has become, I decided

to write some more articles about taking care of your computer.
The following is a list of easy tweaks you can do to speed up the overall performance of your PC

with Windows XP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Disable File Indexing


Huh? This indexing service gets info from files on the hard drive and creates a "searchable

keyword index."
If you don't use the XP search feature often to look for documents, you can turn this feature

off, and the difference you'll notice is a slight increase in the time it takes for your computer

to find a file, but an overall increase in general speed for everything else.

How to : From My Computer > right-click on the C: Drive > select Properties.
Uncheck "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching." Apply changes to "C:

sub folders and files," and click OK.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Clean Up Prefetch, temp, and cache files


Huh? Windows stores a lot of temporary files that can be safely cleaned out once a month or so.

This is also good to do before running virus or spyware scans, as it clears many things out of

your system that would need to be scanned.
How to : Download CleanUp!
How to use CleanUp! : Download, Install, and Run.
