Windows has many options that are designed to make the experience of using the operating system more enjoyable.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There are animations, fading effects, drop shadows and many other things that can make\u00a0objects in the interface\u00a0look better.\u00a0 Unfortunately most of these features will slow your computer down just a little.\u00a0 With enough of them running on your system, you may notice the impact on your computer’s performance.<\/p>\n
Fortunately Windows has a way of figuring out what your system can handle and making adjustments that keep the system peppy by turning off features that slow your particular system down.\u00a0 Here is how you do it.<\/p>\n
Right-click My Computer and select Properties.\u00a0 When the System Properties window opens, click the Advanced tab.\u00a0 There should be a section called Performance.\u00a0 Click the Settings button under Performance.\u00a0 This will bring up the Performance Options where you can select from:<\/p>\n
1 – Let Windows decide what’s best
\n2 – Best appearance (most taxing on system)
\n3 – Best performance (all the eye candy will be turned off)
\n4 – Custom – You pick and choose what you want<\/p>\n
If you aren’t sure, go with the first selection.\u00a0 You can experiment if you like.\u00a0 If you can’t figure out a better set of options, you can always go back to that first option and let Windows decide everything for you.<\/p>\n
