Default How to speed up Vista


Many people I see are having the problem in regards to either a slow
boot up, or windows is slow to load Programs.

I myself have 4GB of ram, and I am using a SATA RAID 0 config. This can
result in heavy fragmentation and a slow system- especially after
recording tv on MCE.

Deframenting speeds up the system dramatically, BUT using the default
defragmentation doesn't defrag files bigger than 64MB.

_*So_here_are_two_steps_to_a_faster_system:*_

*1. Do a full defrag- all files*
StartAll ProgramsAcessoriesRight Click Command Prompt"Run as
Administrator"at command prompt, copy and paste the following:

*defrag c: -w*



*2. Check disk for errors*
StartComputerRight Click "C" driveClick PropertiesToolsError
Checking-Click "Check Now"Under Check Disk Options click "Automatically
fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad
sectors" Restart Computer

*-(note-substitute "c" for the drive letter you want to defrag/check
for errors)-*

When computer restarts after check disk you will notice system is much
faster, and more responsive.
