A Faster PC in 13 Easy Steps

Here on Kenneth Porio | the blog, I want to help you get the most out of your daily computing. So I managed to accept this e-mail from an avid reader on this blog to share his tips on how to make a PC even faster.
Here's an article from www.slow-computers.com's author Jesse on how to overcome those slow-ups on your Windows PC. (Spelling and grammar corrected for clarity, with emphasis added.)
No money wasted. Not a lot of applications downloaded. No more hours spent on learning complex operations how to speed up your system. Just thirteen simple tips anyone can perform!


 1. Wallpapers that you use on your computer can make the whole system slower. Better use an essential plain one instead.
2. In the case of graphics cards, new drivers tend to increase system speed. So you also need to update your hardware drivers as soon as possible to speed up your pc.
3. Minimize a lot of programs at the same time reduce the overload on RAM.
4. For booting faster on your computer  you need to go to C:\ and find the file Msdos.sys then remove the Read-Only option. After that, open Notepad and finally you need to go to the text 'Options' within the file and write AddBootDelay=0.  To make it more faster you can set add Logo=0 that help to remove the Windows logo at startup.
5. While you are restarting your PC hold down Shift so that the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time.
6. Animations turned off is a suitable tip for Windows XP because of its various scroll and fade effects that can use up memory. For this to work go to Display settings from the Control Panel and switch to the Effects tab. From there you can be able to adjust the animations made for your menu items.
7. Active Desktop turned off has a remarkable effect on speeding up your PC. Go to the Display properties and switch to the Web tab. From there you can disable the check mark that indicates that your wallpaper is displayed as a web page.
8. Intel's Disk Defragmenter for Windows can make data physically set in order on the drive so that applications will load faster. (Editor's note: I also recommend third-party defragmenters such as Smart Defrag 3 so your drive can defrag in the background)
9. By using the Advanced Power Management of the Control Panel you can put your computer in to Sleep/Standby or Hibernate mode in place of shutting down and restart. You can adjust how many minutes/hours you want to inactive your PC by this system.
10. Another important tip for speeding up your PC is benchmarking which is very useful on normal PC usage. It can provide information about how your PC components are performing, compared to other machines. SiSoft Sandra is an excellent software can do this job. (Editor's note: You can also use NovaBench which can publish your benchmark results online through a personalized account and compare it to thousands of machines all over the world)
11. Taskbar refreshes without restarting your computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del once, and double clicks on Explorer.  This will refresh the Taskbar and makes the system faster.
12. Without pushing the button on your drive you can eject a CD quickly by right-clicking on the CD drive letter in My Computer and click Eject. It also helps to remove any icons from the CD drive.
13. When programs are running on startup it can slow down. To remove these unnecessary startup programs you need to check your Startup folder. Another way to do this is by running msconfig to eliminate programs from loading. Although it will take a long time for these programs to load, but you will finally see it on your screen in different tabs.

Author’s bio:
Definitely there are few more easy yet effective tips on enhancing slow pc performance, but Jesse promises to return with them later in a brand new article! Stay tuned for updates!

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
