Go up one level in this thread


There are a few minor tweaks you can make, but it won't
be dramatic.  For starters, go to the start menu ->
run "msconfig".  Look in the start up tab and see what's
set to start automatically upon boot up.  You can probably
get rid of most of it.

Active desktop can be disabled through the display properties
dialog box.

Moving your page file to a separate hard disk (assuming you
have one) helps some, but not too much.
