8 ways to speed up Windows XP - Day 2

Day 2 – Remove unwanted programs

If you're anything like me then you like to install programs, try them out and if you like them they become a regular part of your tool set. Other times, a program might not do exactly what you would hope and if you fail to remove it, it will take up resources and impair your PC's performance.

Follow these steps to remove your unwanted programs :

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel

2. Click Add or Remove Programs

3. Untick the ‘Show updates' option at the top

4. Scroll down through the list and examine each program and remove as appropriate.

* Do not Uninstall any program labeled as Update or Hotfix as these will be Windows Security additions from Microsoft.

Congratulations, you have started the clean up process. See you tomorrow for more improvements.

  1. Kudos for posting such a useful blog. Your blog isn't only informative and also extremely artistic too. There usually are extremely few people who can write not so easy articles that creatively. Keep up the good work !!
