The 15 minute Windows XP tune-up

Got a slow movin' computer? Try the Windows XP 15 minute tune-up.

Chances are, it's not a hardware problem that's making your system run so slowly, but a backup of old, clogged data that's draining your memory. Computing siteTweak3D.net offers a few suggestions that can get that sluggish machine running at max speed in fifteen minutes or less, including:

• Step 1: Stripping off the Rust
• Step 2: Remove Extra Programs
• Step 3:Clean-up Registry and Temporary Files
• Step 4:Removing Programs that Run at Startup
• Step 5:Clean your Desktop and Start Menu

Having just completed this checklist myself, I can tell you that my computer's productivity increased by a considerable margin.
