Speed Up Windows 7 – How To Make Windows 7 Faster!
Speed Up Windows 7 using 6 Tweaking Tools
There are many tools available aside from the great Game Booster. Many tools already support Windows 7. Here are the Top5:
1. Enhance MySe7en
One of the top picks. Great GUI and lots of possibilities to customize your system. Even advanced users can use this tool. For example, you might want to redefine the waiting time before your system kills an application – with this tool it’s possible.

2. TweakNow Power Pack 2009
This tools reminds me of the famous “Tweaking Utilites”. It includes much more than just tweaking tools. You can get more information about your system, clean your disk and access useful system settings directly through a very intuitive GUI.

3. Ultimate Windows Tweaker
The Ultimate Windows Tweaker offers some basic tweaking tools, for example to add more options to your context menu or to customize the Windows Explorer. This is only a very simple tweaking tool, but surely it can come in handy anyway.

4. Windows 7 Manager
This tool is not freeware, but offers a lot of options to speed up your system. Actually it was the only one of the TOP5 that was not working properly after installing it. You will either have to end the process manually and start it again or reboot to use the tool. It’s GUI isn’t the best looking for a paid tool. Why is this tool on our TOP5? It has a lot of potential. Considering that it’s only a beta, there is still a lot of room for improvements. Still why would you pay for a tool, if *free* tools can do about the same? They will have to add something that is unique.

5. XdN Tweaker
Another very simple tool – if you want to customize a few settings only this is a good choice.

GREAT Post….I do like most of the options…but sometimes I worry that maybe tweaking too much leads to unstability….. Call me scared.
Anyhow…I am going to try some of the tweaks, especially the boot/processor tuning…will report back.
Pretty nice post. I just came by your blog and wanted to say
that I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
Great job man! I can honestly say that I love your guide, thanks for all the efforts and time into making it. I’m a bit concern to use the ReadyBoost application as the performance result doesn’t seem that far edged when already having a standard PC (2GB ram, PC4 2.0) but otherwise the guide is amazing. Gamebooster, Crystal Disk Mark is very nifty tools.
thanks man, you ROCK
Excellet! Article I will test with Gamen Booster and ReadyBosst. Thanks for all I’m thinking to make a post on my blog in Spanish and link to this one it’s a good job I will do it next week.
Thanks.
GameBoost is awesome, I’m using it for few weeks now,
It really boost up my PC,
and this article is really nice!
Appreciate your works, keep it up!
My friend did the stress test in Counter Strike Source with and without GameBoost.
With GameBoost he lost 1 FPS
Just keep your PC clean and only have a few programs running, then it’s all good. Stopping services wont really give you any significant performance.
i am surely say that it will not work … and there are many possible threats in this sofware.so users who are thinking to use this my openion is upgrade your pcs by hardware.
i am using window 7 complete edition
it will run faster on 2.8 ghz processor,2 gb of ram,make sure that all optical and hd drives are in sata option,minimum 128mb of grafix card(256 is better).
and if you are a edicted gamer then use it on the above system other wise its not good for low performance pcs.
any other query email me

There’s no neeed to create a new folder for the quick-launch toolbar, it already exists in:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
after right click on Quick Toolbar there is no such options like :
Show Text and Show Title !
Check this:
http://pictures.pk/images/viu1257068031k.jpg
and I cant drag it..there is also no such function !??
Please Help.
Right-click on the taskbar, not the quick-launch toolbar.
You also got to uncheck: “Lock Taskbar” before you can drag it anywhere.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

dude your ideas of tweaking windows 7 is really cool …!!!
Thanks
the advanced boot settings thing is better to be left alone and it shouldnt have any positive effect for dual/quad core
multiple prosessor does not mean dual core dual core is single processor with 2 cores
quad is single processor with 4 cores
the setting is literally meant for multiple processors
Actually, a “single CPU with 2 cores” is literally 2 CPU’s, the effect is the same as if you had the exact same 2 CPU’s, but split. This setting does help, I used to use it in Vista and it works. Dual Core = multiple CPU.
hi, i am having problem with my aero effects on windows7, can i boost my system to display areo effects,, i am using acer 1640z laptop, with 1.7 processor (single) and RAM 1.5 GB.
Why not just use Tune-Up utilities 2010, it does all of this and more.
Excellent post! I’ve implemented a lot of the tweaks and I’ve had better results in terms of speed and functionality.
Good stuff man!
i could not understand most of these tips … i have heard RegInOut is really fine to boost up PC , the software related to registry cleaning …
Oh,thank! This really helps!!!

Hi, i think the other option to speed up windows 7 is by unupdating your windows.. early windows installed are already stable..
hey, im trying to use the QuickStart folder tweak and I cant get it under the main icons, any suggestions. i unlocked the taskbar to move it but it wont go under.
Seth, did you read this tutorial: http://windows7themes.net/how-to-setup-a-quickstart-toolbar-in-windows-7.html ?
It’s really easy, just drag the dotted bar below your other icons. IMPORTANT: if you don’t increase the size of your taskbar there won’t be any room!! So, move your mouse over the taskbar borders and resize your taskbar to be larger (at least 2 rows). Then it should work.
The amount of Ram is still limited to 3GB on any 32 bit OS. If you have a 64bit version, then yes, you can go ahead and add more Ram, but on a 32 bit operating system anything over 3 gig is not going to make any difference, because it is not addressable and instead of using third party tools to stop the services I’d rather use services.msc.
Cheers.
Wow! This is a very nice post. Keep it up! I’ll be waiting for your next post. Thanks a lot!
thanks for the tips. honest to goodness tricks that really works.
dis article is excellent….
damn gud!!!!
i lov it…..
ty for sharin wid us
I was searching to speed up my Windows 7.This seems useful by comments above, going to try it.
playing win 7 regestry is not good
why:it makes lots problems and makes slower
how to boost right wat: only way is add some RAM & VC(GC)
and installing additonal themes makes computer more slower
Absolute Great Post! This really helped me in speeding Windows 7. Big respect for that! Thanks!
Just wanted to add that the windows shutdown one shouldn’t be on the list in my opinion or should at least have a warning about setting the time out too low.
I have had problems with it myself in the past where the machine decided something vital (could never determine what I assume explorer.exe) hung at startup and becuase the waittokillapptimeout was set too low it killed the process and my machine would restart, it would do that in safe mode too, stuck in a continuous loop.
I have never touched that registry entry again :)
Thanks for the feedback Dave, much appreciated!
Anyone else got any good tips how to speed up Windows 7?
This is a great post and if your system hangs with the app time out feature all you have to do is open task manager and go to file run and type the name of the closed process I have never personally had any issues with it except for it closing my browser due to a timeout hangs other than that i have been lookinng for some time now what other processes that you can add to game booster safely the only thing i dont like is that you cannot run any internet processes while using it unless you remove the newly added kill process features.
I am using Readyboost on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system right now and I can tell you it only supports 4Gb of the 8G Sony Microvault Click (USM8GL/E) and most likely any other Readyboost compatible USB flash drives.
As far as I’ve heard, Microsoft is only CONSIDERING increasing the 4G limitation in the future. However, considering the slim to no performance boost I doubt they will bother.
hey dude, Its really awesome tips that you shared as I was facing the issue with BOOT process….& I tried the way you discuss….It WorkS!!! BINGO……Cheers & please keep Guiding !!! GOD BLESS YOU!!
Also, get Google Chrome, the faster and better browser. It has everything firefox has, and more.
Chrome is faster than Firefox, but if you really want to speed up your website loading, then I’d recommend Opera. Opera is the fastest browser at the moment. IE9 will be coming soon, could possibly be even faster.
If you want to speed up your internet in general you will find some good tutorials on this site, use the search box.
cool dude. this really helped me a lot in optimizing my computer. i really enjoyed reading this.
Question – “Russell Peters-Why not just use Tune-Up utilities 2010, it does all of this and more.”
Answer – Because it’s a $50 program, and the knowledge in this article is free, see how that works?
Also, I and others would have difficulty taking one or two of the self proclaimed experts seriously in their posts (hussain being one) when you spell like my 7yr old niece :-)
Thx 4 the tips. The Processor boot tip really worked for me, I am running an I7 core 920 and it reported 1 processor. Sooo, cranked it up to 8 and WOW. Boot in 1/2 the time now. Thx again.

Tune up utilities
I have updated this list and added even more links to guides that will help you to make Windows 7 even faster. Some tips might be a bit overkill, but if you want to speed up your system it will be quite nice.
Anyway, I’ll be adding some guides for SSD users soon (when I have my own SSD)
Really diz is da best web site to speed up windows. Thnkz
Use TuneUp Utilites 2011- it has a Turbo Mode: just click on the button and it disables all unwanted services and really speed up your system. Give it a go and you will see the difference!!
I have 8 GB RAM and my os is supporting only 2.75 GB.How can I use all the 8 GB so as to improve the performance of my system
i applied most of this to a laptop running traktor scratch and now it runs much smoother with no dropouts. Thanks a mill
For safety, Glary Utilities works well without known damage. Any form of registry change is likely to have dangerous long-term consequences; had to trash several desktops over the years from routine use of CCleaner and various common tweaking programs, even after reinstalls of OS.
I’ve read above that and one of them is don’t try clean up registry if you want speed up windows 7 performance. I disagree, because clean up invalid registry will speed up the performance windows.
GameBooster and ReadyBoost is best tool but there is one tool that mix utility GameBooster and ReadyBoost become one tool. That is TuneUp Utilities. I’ve tried this from version 2006 and now i’ve used the version 2012.
TuneUp Utilities is tool that will clean up invalid registry, defragment registry, defragment your windows, speed up time starting and shutting windows, and much more with just one click. And for game mode there are turbo mode, the system is same like GameBooster, and for users netbooks and notebooks using batteries when going out there are economic mode that will saving energies for you batteries. It is easy to use.
TuneUp Utilities wouldn’t endanger your windows like CCleaner. I recommended it for all.
