Tips & Tricks
First off, let me state that the techniques presented here aren't ones that I necessarily figured out by myself. Not all of them, anyway. This is a compilation of all the optimization techniques that I have either found or come across myself. Many methods listed below are very well known, however I'm trying to make this list as thorough as possible. Also, these are useful tips; things to make your computer go faster and run better. You won't find any tips such as "Did you know you can shut down your system by clicking on Start, then Shutdown, then Yes?" (honest -- I read that in the tips section of a certain website!). I recommend that everyone reads through this, as it probably contains some things you may have missed.
If you have any tips or tricks not listed here, e-mail me ... and please, nothing like "You can minimize all the open windows by right clicking on the taskbar and selecting Minimize All." We need performance tips! This page will be revised whenever new tricks are discovered. SO COME ON WINDOWS WIZARDS LETS SEE WHAT YOU KNOW!!
