Windows 7 is indeed a house of nimble and reliable operating system, but with a few mouse clicks here and there some setting changes in future Windows 7 runs faster than ever.Our 7-tuning tips show you how.


Anyone who has ever opens many windows and in these often switch back and forth, losing much of the time: Windows 7 plays every maximize and minimize a window, an animation where one has seen fast enough.This animation can be disabled easily. You enter in the input box of the Start menu System Properties Performance one.


This will open the "Performance Options" window. When getting rid of the tab "Visual Effects" Now uncheck the "animation when denigrating and minimizing windows." A window is minimized or maximized in future immediately, minus the animation is playing.


If you open this window setting anyway just, well worth a look at the rest of the settings. You can, for example, the representation of the window and / or disable mouse shadow or choose not to drag a window to display its contents.

The Windows 7 built-in Windows Search (Windows Search) indexes in the background specified directories on hard disks. If the user enters a query, the search results are determined from the search index and presented instantaneously. Disadvantage: The Creation of the search index runs in the background, causing disk accesses and uses system resources. This becomes especially noticeable when the computer is low on system memory (2 or even 1 GB) or plugged into the PC, an old slow hard disk. In these cases, it may be worthwhile to disable Windows Search.


You will find the tab "Startup". Sort the view by clicking the "Vendor".Entries in which a manufacturer is "Microsoft Corporation" should remain intact. You should take a closer look at all the other entries, and then face the question: Do I use the program in question so often that it should be started when Windows 7 start? If the answer is "no", then uncheck the box to the left of the entry.


In the "Services" tab, repeat the whole thing again with the system services. By clicking on "Hide All Microsoft Services" all major Windows Service entries will be hidden. This leaves services, software and drivers are installed when you install them. Again, you can make by removing the check mark that the relevant service at system boot will not starts up. The next Windows-7-start should now be done more quickly.
