Our advice is to stop them blocking their enthusiasm internet access from within the operating system. Thus, you will be able to take on, really, control your computer and decide which applications should have access to the Internet and which not, but, above all, to always be aware of what is happening in the background.

3. Disable logon sound
Music that Windows 7 runs every time the login screen is displayed and then again when the login itself is reminiscent of the past, the time when most computers had not a integrated sound card. Of course this is no longer the case so, and the media file of 500KB which the system must load it every time it slows down for no reason. I recommend to disable it by following the steps below:

4. Change location of virtual memory
Virtual memory swap file or paging file is very important for the operating system that it uses in compensation when it do not have enough random access memory (RAM) to run a program or operation.

However, there are some tricks that improve the use of swap file, such as blocking certain applications before accessing or placing it on another hard drive of your computer, even a portable hard drive or USB stick. You say that accessing virtual memory, in such cases, will slow the operating system - an error if talking about a computer with multiple hard disks.

h) When new partition is highlighted, select Custom Size and enter the numbers noted above. If not, select the Mode Custom Size and choose System Managed Size.
