    Windows Tutorials: Written and Organized by Evan Omo.

    Special thanks to Arie Slob and Bill Bright for providing advice and suggestions.


    *** This tutorial is no longer being updated due to end of support. ***

    In this tutorial, I will show you a variety of ways to optimize the performance of your Windows Vista computer by removing old programs, keeping Windows up-to-date, eliminating malware, removing temporary files, and performing other various tweaks to improve your Windows experience.

    Before we get started, it is recommended to please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions.

    Note: A common error is to forget to show your System Details in your profile:

    Make sure to do the above when entering your System Details, thanks.

    It is highly recommended to create a System Restore point before making any changes to your system just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by following the instructions in this link, Configure System Restore in Windows.

    Now that your System Details have been entered in your profile and you have created a System Restore point, follow the steps to optimize your computer below:

    1. Click Start< Control Panel< Uninstall a Program and uninstall any programs that you do not use.

    [​IMG]

    If you are not sure on what programs can be removed safely, there are three tools that you can use to help you decide what needs to go. Personally, any programs that are not system drivers and that come pre-installed on any new computer probably are not necessary for your computer to work properly. These useless programs known as bloatware, a lot of the time will be running in the background so if you do not need these programs, they can be removed using the tools below:

    PC Decrapifier.

    Decrap My PC.

    Should I Remove It.

    2. In Control Panel under Programs and Features click the link that says Turn Windows Features On or Off and uncheck all the checkboxes except for Games, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows PowerShell, and Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment. Click Ok when you are done and then click on the Restart Now button when prompted. (If you use a Windows Feature that is listed then do not uncheck its checkbox)

    Your installed Windows Vista Features should look like the picture below.

    3. Download and run ATF Cleaner. Save the program to your desktop. After the download completes, right click on the ATF Cleaner program and select Run as administrator. When it opens select all the checkboxes in the program then hit the Empty Selected button.

    [​IMG]

    4. Run Disk Cleanup. Click Start< All Programs< Accessories< System Tools< Right click Disk Cleanup and select Run as administrator. When it is done calculating how much free space you can save make sure you check all the checkboxes except for Hibernation File Cleaner on the Disk Cleanup tab. Now click the More Options tab and under System Restore click the Cleanup button. When it asks you if you want to delete all but the most recent restore point click Yes. Now click Ok on the Disk Cleanup window to allow Disk Cleanup to remove unnecessary files from the computer.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    If you want a more thorough cleaning of your system using the Disk Cleanup utility then follow the instructions in this link, How to Create and Run an Extended Disk Cleanup Shortcut in Windows.

    5. Download and run the portable version of CCleaner. Save the zipped folder to your desktop. After you download the zipped folder on your desktop, right click the zipped folder and click Extract All. After the folder has been extracted open the regular folder. Run the CCleaner.exe program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator. When you open the program, on the Windows tab select the following boxes:

    Temporary Internet Files
    History
    Cookies
    Recently Typed URLs
    Index.dat files
    Last Download Location
    Empty Recycle Bin
    Temporary Files
    Clipboard
    Memory Dumps
    Chkdsk File Fragments
    Windows Log Files
    Old Prefetch Data
    IIS Log Files


    You will see the program that looks like this:

    [​IMG]

    Once those checkboxes have been selected, click on the Applications tab and deselect all the checkboxes on that tab. Then click on the Analyze button. After CCleaner has finished analyzing how much hard drive space you can free up, click on the Run Cleaner button. CCleaner will tell you that this process will permanently delete files from your system, and are you sure you want to proceed? Click on Ok to have CCleaner remove all the junk files that it found. CCleaner will then remove those files and when it is done, it will tell you that the cleaning has finished. You can now close the CCleaner program.

    (Understand, that by deleting Internet cookies using either CCleaner or ATF Cleaner, if you had set your Internet browser to save your login information to your online e-mail account as an example, then you will need to re-enter that information again in order to log into that account. Internet cookies are small pieces of information in the form of small text files that are downloaded to your computer when you visit websites. These text files save your login information, so by deleting your Internet cookies, your usernames and passwords for your online accounts will need to be typed in again. If you do not want to re-input this information again then do not remove your Internet cookies using CCleaner or ATF Cleaner).

    6. Disable any Windows Services that you do not use by following, Black Vipers Services Guide.

    Information on Windows Services

    A Windows Service is a special type of application that operates in the background. Services can have special privileges that regular applications do not. For instance, on a limited user account a service could access certain parts of the Windows Registry that a regular application could not access. Most Windows Services do not have a user interface and many of them are loaded when Windows starts.

    I have been using Black Vipers website as a partial guide as to whether or not a service is needed for many years now and have never had any problems. The key here is you should only mess with Windows Services if you are willing to spend time researching about what each service does. Every computer user uses their computer differently so it is not really possible to recommend a general list of services that people can disable since some users will use a Windows Service that someone else will never use. However, I find that if you look at the information about a particular Windows Service from many different sources about what its purpose is, then you will have a greater understanding of whether or not you should disable the service.

    I use Black Vipers guide along with many other sources found online about what each service’s purpose is so I can more accurately determine if I need that service running on my machine. My mentality is that if you have a process that is taking up your computers resources and you have no use for it to be running in the first place then why keep that process running? Sure on computers with today’s hardware, the difference in performance with disabling Windows Services may be marginal at best and may trim a few seconds off of your startup time but every little bit helps in the long run. Not only that, but disabling certain Windows Services can even improve the security of the system. The lower the amount of processes your system has running, the more resources your computer has available for when you want to play a game or perform intensive multitasking with programs that you do use. I have disabled dozens of Windows Services on many computers and I have noticed a slight increase in performance.

    There is some truth that if you disable a Windows Service, you may break a feature of Windows that you use and could even render your computer unbootable. While this statement is correct, I have seen many users particularly novice ones who disable Windows Services without knowing the full impact of what they actually control. For example, a user may disable the Print Spooler Service and then wonder why their printer does not work anymore. This shows that you need to be absolutely sure that the service that you are disabling will not disable some feature of Windows that you utilize. If you follow this approach, then you will have a lower chance of messing up your system.

    Pre-work before modifying Windows Services

    Before you make any changes to the Windows Services list, you should create a System Restore point just in case you need to restore your computer before you made any service changes. To create a restore point, follow the instructions in this link, Configure System Restore in Windows.

    After the restore point has been created, you can now open the services window by clicking Start< Run and typing services.msc and hitting enter. Then, make sure you READ all of the information on Black Vipers service configuration webpage before making any service startup changes as the information that is listed there is EXTREMELY important.

    Let’s now describe what each of the service categories on Black Vipers website actually mean and how you can interpret them. The services are sorted by different columns on the website. The columns that we will focus on are the name of each service, and the configuration mode that you want to follow. The service name allows you to click on each service to learn more about what each service does and what the default startup type is.

    The service startup configurations are organized into three distinct categories; Safe, Tweaked, and Bare-bones:

    • Safe - If you are a basic computer user or you are not very comfortable with disabling Windows Services then you should follow the Safe configuration. The Safe configuration should be sufficient for most home users to follow with very little risk involved. The Safe configuration will have you disable services required for using smart cards and media sharing across large networks so for home computers that do not perform these functions, this configuration will work well for your needs.
    • Tweaked - If you are an intermediate or advanced computer user then you can follow the Tweaked configuration for more control over what features you have enabled. The Tweaked configuration will disable File and Print sharing, Network Discovery and other corporate network functions that many home computers will not use so if you do not share any files or printers between computers on your network, then the Tweaked configuration will be adequate for your needs.
    • Bare-bones - The last service configuration is the Bare-bones category. This category is NOT recommended to follow completely as security features like Windows Update, Security Center, Windows Firewall and wireless Internet functionality will stop working with this configuration. You should be very cautious when disabling any services that use the Bare-bones configuration.
    Now this isn’t to say that you need to follow each category exactly as shown on the website. You can disable certain services from all three categories listed as long as you know that you will not be using that particular service. As another option, you can look through each service individually by name, which will give you a greater understanding of what each service is used for. Then you can use the service configuration categories on Black Vipers website as a starting point to figure out how important each service is to the running of your system. The services listed under the Safe category are going to be safer to disable when compared to the services listed under the Tweaked or Bare-bones categories. Regardless of the service category that you choose or whatever services you decide to disable, make sure you perform research on the service in question before disabling it. I cannot stress this enough. Just remember to exercise some good common sense when messing with Windows Services. If you have a question about what a particular service does and you are unsure about its functionality, then feel free to ask about it on the WindowsBBS forum.

    7. Remove any scheduled tasks that you do not need running on the machine by following the instructions in this link, Descriptions of the scheduled tasks in Windows Vista.

    8. Click Start< Right click Computer and click Properties. In the System Properties window on the left side, click the Advanced system settings button. Then on the Advanced tab< Under where it says Performance hit the settings button. In the Performance Options window click the Advanced tab and under Virtual Memory click the Change button. In the Virtual Memory window make sure your hard drive is selected and select the option that says System Managed Size and click the Set button. Now click Ok on the Virtual Memory window to close it. Now in the Performance Options window click the Data Execution Prevention tab and select the option that says Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select. After that is done click Ok on the Performance Options window to save the changes. Then in the System Properties window on the Advanced Tab under Startup and Recovery click on the Settings button. Under the System startup section uncheck both checkboxes that say Time to display list of operating systems and Time to display recovery options when needed. When done, click on Ok on all the windows to close them out and then reboot the computer.

    10. You can disable the Windows Aero Interface if you do not care about all of the glass effects and clear borders for a speed improvement. Read this link, Disable Aero on Windows 7 or Vista.

    11. To improve your Windows shutdown time, decrease the delay time when opening up menus, and close non responsive programs, I have provided descriptions for what these various settings do and a registry script that will make these changes automatically.

    Here are the descriptions about what each of these settings do in the below registry script.

    To run the registry script, click Start< All Programs< Accessories< Notepad. Once Notepad opens, copy and paste the text in bold red below:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
     
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
     "AutoEndTasks "= "1 "
     "HungAppTimeout "= "2000 "
     "MenuShowDelay "= "1 "
     "WaitToKillAppTimeout "= "2000 "
     "LowLevelHooksTimeout "= "2000 "
     "ForegroundLockTimeout "=dword:00000000
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]
     "MouseHoverTime "= "1 "
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control]
     "WaitToKillServiceTimeout "= "2000 "
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control]
     "WaitToKillServiceTimeout "= "2000 "
     
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
     "WaitToKillServiceTimeout "= "2000 "
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
     "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation "=dword:00000001
     "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate "=dword:00000001
     
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Control Panel\Desktop]
     "AutoEndTasks "= "1 "
     "HungAppTimeout "= "2000 "
     "MenuShowDelay "= "1 "
     "WaitToKillAppTimeout "= "2000 "
     
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Control Panel\Desktop]
     "AutoEndTasks "= "1 "
     "HungAppTimeout "= "2000 "
     "MenuShowDelay "= "1 "
     "WaitToKillAppTimeout "= "2000"
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
     "VerboseStatus "= "1"

    [​IMG]

    Click on Yes to continue and then click on Ok to confirm that the file has been imported into the registry.

    12. If you find the secure desktop functionality in User Account Control annoying then you can disable it for a speed improvement. Read this link, Make User Account Control (UAC) Stop Blacking Out the Screen in Windows 10, 8, 7, or Vista or you can disable User Account Control for administrators only by reading this link, Disable User Account Control (UAC) For Administrators Only.

    13. Run Check Disk on the hard drive to repair any errors in the file system. To do this click Start< Computer. Right click on your hard drive and click on Properties. Then once the hard drive properties dialog box opens, click on the Tools Tab. Under where it says Error-checking click on the Check Now button. Ensure that both the Automatically fix file system errors and the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors checkboxes are both checked. After that is done click on the Start button.

    Allow the program to complete its work.
    All the tools we used will be removed.
    The tool will create and open a log report (DelFix.txt)
    Note: The report can be located at the following location C:\DelFix.txt

    Let us know how the computer is running after performing the above steps.

    Some guidelines to keep in mind:

    • Following these steps will help improve your computers performance to a certain degree but will NOT fix a hardware limitation or remove all types of malware infections that could still be present on the machine.

    • In the case of your computer experiencing malware symptoms or you want to make sure your computer is completely clean of malware, it is advisable to please read this and post the requested logs in the Malware and Virus Removal Forum.

    • If your computer is still slow because of a hardware limitation such as a slow processor (CPU) or a low amount of memory (RAM) then we ask that you communicate clearly on why your machine is still slow so that our technicians can provide suggestions on upgrading the hardware for your computer.

    • If you were directed to this tutorial by a hyperlink on WindowsBBS and you want us to help speed up your computer, then we ask that you post the contents of the following information in your next reply:

      MiniToolBox Log
      AdwCleaner Log
      Junkware Removal Tool Log
      Adware Removal Tool Log
      ZHP Cleaner Log
      Hitman Pro Log
      Zoek Log
      Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Log
      Autoruns Logon Tab Screenshot
