Tools to make you computer safer and

faster (Windows XP)

Ccleaner

Download it from the provided link http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup229.exe

You also can visit the website to get Newer Version in future.
Temp files aren’t the only junk files cluttering up your computer, however. Broken registry keys also
pose a huge problem when it comes to useless files clogging up your system. Fortunately, CCleaner also
has the ability to keep your registry clean.

To do this, use the “Registry” tab in Ccleaner. Once again, select all the entries you want CCleaner to
prune, and let it do its thing. The only difference between this type of maintenance and clearing temp
files is that if you accidentally delete a key that is still being used by your system, your computer can
begin to function strangely. With that said, you should back up your registry settings before you give
CCleaner the go ahead to torch everything. When you click “Fix Selected Issues” to delete the faulty
registry entries, CCleaner will prompt you to back up your registry, and you should always click ‘yes’.

Here some of the tips are mentioned by which you can increase you=r PC speed and make it
more SECURE
1. For Firefox, type about:config in the address bar. Right click in the window and click New and
Integer. In the first box, type privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins. In the second box, type 2.
This will prevent Flash popups in Firefox.
2. Open Regedit by clicking Start>Run and type in regedit.
3. Once Regedit is open, click the plus symbol next to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, the plus
symbol next to Control Panel, and then click the Desktop folder icon to display its contents. In
the right pane, double-click MenuShowDelay to change its value. (This Registry location is
referred to as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL\PANEL\DESKTOP\MENUSHOWDELAY.) The
 default Value Data is 400, or 4/10 of a second. Change the Value Data to 0 for the least delay,
and click OK. This will make menus appear instantly on your computer instead of having a delay.
4. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\FILESYSTEM. Right-
click Filesystem, select New, and DWORD Value. Rename NewValue#1 on the right-side pane to
DisableNTFSLast-AccessUpdate. Double-click this new entry, change the Value Data field from 0
to 1, and then click OK. This disables the constant updating of the dates when a file or folder
were last updated. This will speed up the system.
5. Open
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER.
Create a new DWORD Value called DesktopProcess, and set its Value Data to 1.
6. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, and click Desktop. Double-click the
AutoEndTasks string and change the value to 1. This causes all of the components of the
explorer to run in one process, making your computer faster.
7. There is a caveat for some users here. Do not make this change if you are not running at least a
Pentium processor and 16 MB of physical memory.
8. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand SOFTWARE, expand Microsoft, expand Windows, and
expand CurrentVersion. Right-click Explorer, expand New, click Key, and name the new key
AlwaysUnloadDLL. Click AlwaysUnloadDLL, double-click the Default string, and change the value
to 1. Windows tries to keep some DLL's in memory when the program uses them. If a user has
low memory, this can cause performance issues.
9. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, and click Desktop. Double-click the
HungAppTimeout string and change the value to 1000. Now, double-click the
WaitToKillAppTimeout, string and change the value to 2000. This sets your system up to more
efficiently handle application hangups. It also will optimize the amount of time a system takes to
close a program when you try to end Windows.
10. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, expand System, expand CurrentControlSet, and click Control.
Double-click the WaitToKillServiceTimeout string and change the value to 2000. This optimizes
the time that it will take for Windows Services to close when the system is set to shut down.
11. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Control Panel, click Desktop, and double-click the
MenuShowDelay string in the right-hand pane. Change the value to 100. This will cause Desktop
menus to appear almost instantly. Close regedit.
12. Set Recycle Bin to 1-3 percent of the hard drive space. To do this, right click on the Recycle Bin.
Select properties. Move the slider down to the desired amount and click Ok. By default, the
Recycle bin takes up too much of your space.
13. To ensure DMA is in use, click Start, right-click My Computer, click Properties, select the
Hardware tab, and click Device Manager. Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers entry, double-
click the entry for the channel where your hard drive is installed (most likely the Primary IDE
Channel), and use the Transfer Mode drop-down menu to select DMA If Available if PIO Only
mode is selected. Click Ok, reboot, and recheck the setting to make sure it sticks. When this is
enabled, it will allow information from your CD/DVD to go straight to memory, bypassing the
system processor and speeding up the system
