This is an article on how you can improve the speed of your Windows Operating System.
Click "Start". If "My Computer" is already a shortcut for you skip to step 4.
Go to "Programs" or "All Programs" depending on your view.
Then go to "Accessories" and click "Windows Explorer"
From there Right click "My computer" and then Left Click "Properties"
Then click the "Advanced" tab and then the "Settings" button under Performance.
From there click on "Adjust for best performance" and then click "Ok"
It will look something like this image I have for this step when you are through. It will look a little more plain, but it will improve your PC performance.

on 5/27/2008 Sorry, but this didn't work on my Vista laptop. I could only go as far as "Windows Explorer" and then I could find nothing even remotely like "My Computer", just kept going to "Documents". I am not happy with Vista :(

on 5/18/2008 Although, I like Vista to a certain extent, it is slower than XP and other OS's. I use xp, Vista, and Linux. Vista is slower, and your fix will improve it though; say goodbye to the eyecandy.

on 4/2/2008 I can't stand how slow Vista is. If this works, it will have been one of the most simple solutions. Thanks!
