How to Speed Up Windows 7 Desktop and Shutdown

How to Speed Up Windows 7 Desktop and Shutdown

 

   Information

Brink has a few individual registry tweaks in this section that you might notice here. However, this tweak combines most registry hacks that I have been using for a few years to speedup desktop and shutdown of Windows.

METHOD ONE: Through a Download

1. Click on Save, and save the .zip file to the desktop.

2. Open the .zip file and extract the .reg file to the desktop.

3. Right click the .reg file (On Desktop) and click on Merge.

4. Click on Run, Yes, Yes, and OK when prompted.

5. Log off and log on, or restart the computer to apply the changes.

6. When done, you can delete the downloaded .reg and .zip files on the desktop if you like.

METHOD TWO: Through a registry script

Here is a registry script that you can paste into notepad and save as a .REG file. Then follow step three above.
(details are given at the end of the code to explain what each registry command does)
Please save your registry before you make these changes. To do so, type in start menu ''regedit''. Select file and export. (Name the file Full registry around 35 megs). You may also write down original settings and reset.

Code:

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

NoLowDiskSpaceChecks = Low Disk Notification

deactivated

 

LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo = Determines whether Windows traces shortcuts back

to their sources when it cannot find the target on the user's system.

 

NoResolveSearch = Prevents the system from conducting a comprehensive search

of the target drive to resolve a shortcut.

 

NoResolveTrack = Prevents the system from using NTFS tracking features to

resolve a shortcut.

 

NoInternetOpenWith = Specifies whether to use the Microsoft Web service

for finding an application to open a file with an unhandled file association.

 

AutoEndTasks = Specifies whether user processes end automatically when

the user either logs off or shuts down Windows .

 

HungAppTimeout = Specifies how long the system waits for user

processes to end after the user clicks the End Task command button in

Task Manager.

 

MenuShowDelay = Specifies the interval from the time the cursor is

pointed at a menu until the menu items are displayed.

 

WaitToKillAppTimeout = Specifies how long the system waits for user

processes to end after the user attempts to log off or to shut down

Windows. When the time specified in this entry expires, the End

Task dialog box appears, stating that the process did not respond.

If the value of AutoEndTasks is 1, the system ends the process

automatically.

 

LowLevelHooksTimeout = This tweak changes the time to wait to kill

a service, which is not responding

 

WaitToKillServiceTimeout = Determines how long the system waits

for services to stop after notifying the service that the system is

shutting down.
