A computer has become life line for today’s generation. No aspect of life can be imagined without a computer system today. Almost all areas are dominated and served by a computer system. All the important tasks such as banking, online marketing, research, medical, science, mathematical operations and lots more are getting done by a computer system successfully.

Windows registry is one of the most vital and critical part of all windows systems.

Removing all such programs and install the latest updated security patches is the best option to avoid this kind of problem.

How to make xp startup faster


There are various possible ways to improve or increase windows XP startup rate. Few of them are easy to perform whilst some are little lengthy or contain some risks within them. Making a registry changes is one of such examples. However few of them are very positive and most feasible to perform and they give us the direct and clearly visible outcome out of these steps we perform. Here before applying any method to increase windows startup rate we need to consider what all makes a slow start up in any windows system? I would like to mention that what all needs to start a windows operating system so that it would be easier to resolve the problem. It is not good to try many things before knowing about the actual functionality of it. I have seen people are using too many speedupmypc tools to fix their Pc related or slow startup issue.

Normally whenever a windows starts it needs few basic and important entries and mainly only 3 main files to load the operating system. They are Boot.ini, NTLDR, and Ntdetect.com. These 3 files are necessary essential on prima facie basis. So in this case if essential files are loaded into computer’s memory it will work, i.e. it will be started smoothly for sure. Now you may just check the startup list of any PC and you will find many such programs that are not essential at all for booting a system. Once you know the futility of these programs for starting windows you may just uncheck them from loading when a window starts. It is very easy to do. Go to Start-> Run and type msconfig-> click on Startup Tab-> Click on disable all or u can pick the applications u don’t want on startup-> (You can also disable all, it works best 'coz its windows XP).

Another thing what you can do is- to change or reduce windows Timeout time which is 30 sec by default. This can be done from the same msconfig windows i.e. Go to Start-> Run and type msconfig-> click on boot tab and alter the Timeout value from 30 till 5 sec.

I have another way to increase windows XP startup rate. Without using any or many speedupmypc programs. It is from the windows registry. Though this involves some risk in it however if you are well versed with registry you may try it. I have tried many times and so far did not find any sort of problem with any system.

I am writing the steps to go to the registry editor and change the appropriate value.

Click on start and select run ->Type in there regedit, press enter or OK.

Go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/SystemFileAssociations/.avi/shellex/PropertyHandler

Select the value in the right frame and hit

If the system asks for you if you're ok with deleting the value, confirm with yes

And come out of the registry editor.

Note- It is strongly suggested that please do take a backup before making any correction or change to your windows registry. This all can be done without any help from a speedupmypc software.

How to fix a corrupt registry


Windows registry is the back bone of all operating systems. If this goes wrong or gets corrupted you may experience issues such as a slow computer, computer lock ups and many more similar issues.

Windows registry is an important database

The registry is a database that stores all Windows options and configuration settings. It contains all the data for all software and hardware as well as for the entire operating system. Also, all other applications, and all user settings (user profiles, installed software, the sort of documents the users create, etc).

All the installed applications access this registry all the time and new entries are created whenever you install new software or hardware. This all design the registry very huge and critical storage database. Thus it is really important to protect your registry all the time.

Registry may affect your computer’s overall performance

Upon removing of any program it gets removed from the registry as well. This is applicable with all the programs that get removed from the computer. However, some programs leave a lot of leftovers behind. These remains create all the issues there in the registry. Such invalid entries accumulate eventually. And of course computer viruses that attack the registry and change it to make your computer susceptible and unsteady. Thus it is extremely important to clean the Windows registry always.

How to protect your registry?

Earlier it used to be little easier to correct registry entries as there were less number of items.

It required extensive computer knowledge and was very dangerous, because one entry deleted by mistake could make your computer non functional and unbootable.

However there is an alternate which can be used easily and safely and that is to use one of the free registry cleaners available on the market. But before you run any such registry cleaner it is very important to make sure the program will not affect your computer’s other functionality at all. Few of the important facts are as follows:

The software is trustworthy and developed by some well known organization.

The registry cleaner software has a reliable backup system in it.

It does not affect other functionalities of your computer.

This need to be noted that a registry cleaner cannot fix all your system issues guaranteed rather it cleans most of the bad entries. However most of the time it is very effective and can resolve your many issues especially the registry related one.

Now selecting a good registry cleaner is really not easy as there are number of cleaners that claim to be the best but they do not help much. In such case you can use a free trial version for some time and then decide to use it or not. It is also recommended to take a registry backup prior to running any registry repair program in your computer. This makes sure that in case anything goes wrong you can reverse the changes.
