1. Empty your recycle bin. A lot of people think that just because the files are in the recycle bin that they are gone. Well if you empty it your computer can see a speed increase when it comes to loading your desktop at initial launch.
2. Limit the amount of start up programs. I know plenty of people who have 10+ programs starting at launch and what comes to my mind is do you even use them? If you don't use the product or it is not essential put it on a delay or stop it completely. You can turn off a startup program by entering the task manager. You can enter the task manager by using control ALT delete and then go to start up.
3. Don't have too many running programs. If you are playing a game, and you are downloading, and converting a video file then your computer will be slower you need to limit those. Stop playing the game and both the conversion speed and the download speed should increase.
4. Limit the amount of programs on your desktop. This can help with older PCs because of the initial launch of the desktop it is going to have to load all of the images for those programs. You can help by placing those icons into a folder.
5. Have a static background. This just means use 1 image as your background instead of it being a slideshow.
