Services are programs that run in the background for the sole purpose of making things go faster when we click on a icon or do most anything on computer. Depending upon what you use your computer for some of these services are not needed. Simply by changing some of these services from Automantic to Manual mode can greatly increase the performance of your computer.
Black Viper, is one of the most respected experts when it comes to tweaking one's computer for optimum performance. A lot of what he writes about is for after the installation of SP1. If you are comfortable enough in editing the services, I would suggest that you reads Black Viper's Notes For A Happier Computer And User.
There are other people who just like to make adjustments to anything, just to see if it could run fast and more efficient. Tweak Vista.com is another website about things you can do to improve the performance of your Windows Vista computer.
I would strongly recommend before you start doing any of these people's recommend tweaks that you take the following steps, just in case something goes really wrong.
- Back up all you data files and settings
- Create a bootable recovery disk
- Write down what setting you have change and how to change them back.
This blog is not written to the geek. It is written to the average computer user. However, it is good to know a little bit about what can or can not be done. That is why I have given you some links to information that would be good to share with the individual who you go to for your personal computer help.
