If you have downloaded ccleaner or schd the windows disk cleanup tool on a daily basis to erase browser cache files thinking it will speed your browsers up. It actually slow down your web browsing as your web browser is forced to re-download the files all over again, and reconstruct the cache you regularly delete. Myth #2 - disable your page file to increase performance When Windows runs out of empty space in RAM, it swaps out data from memory to a page file on your hard disk. If a computer doesn’t have much memory and it’s running slow, it’s probably moving data to the page file or reading data from it. When in fact Windows will actually only use the page file rarely anyway. Tests have found that disabling the page file offers no performance benefit. Myth #3 - Enable CPU Cores in MSConfig Some websites claim that Windows may not be using all of your CPU cores or that you can speed up your boot time by increasing the amount of cores used during boot. They direct you to the MSConfig application, where you can indeed select an option that appears to increase the amount of cores used. In reality, Windows always uses the maximum amount of processor cores your CPU has. (Technically, only one core is used at the beginning of the boot process, but the additional cores are quickly activated.) Myth 4 - Clean Your Prefetch To Increase Startup Speed Windows watches the programs you run and creates .pf files in its Prefetch folder for them. The Prefetch feature works as a sort of cache — when you open an application, Windows checks the Prefetch folder, looks at the application’s .pf file (if it exists), and uses that as a guide to start preloading data that the application will use. This helps your applications start faster. If you were to regularly clean out the Prefetch folder, not only would programs take longer to open because they won’t be preloaded, Windows will have to waste time recreating all the .pf files. Myth 5 - Manually running disk defrag Windows 98, users had to manually open the defragmentation tool and run it, ensuring no other applications were using the hard drive while it did its work. Modern versions of Windows are capable of defragmenting your file system while other programs are using it, and they automatically defragment your disks for you.
