Improving system performance is not always a question of buying more RAM memory modules or upgrading your processor. You can also optimize Windows capabilities and make it run noticeably faster by adopting a series of regular cleaning routines for yourself.
Take a look at the list below and see all the tasks you can perform to improve computer performance with some simple software tools, all of them for free. Remember that regularity is the key! Clean your system every three or four weeks and you’ll be able to easily keep Windows in perfect shape.
- Erase temporary files with Disk Cleaner
- Defrag your hard drive with Defraggler
- Clean the autostart menu with Autoruns
- Improve general Windows performance with Xpy
- Clean browser’s cache and history with Free Window Sweeper
- Uninstall applications with ZSoft Uninstaller
- Defrag Windows Registry with Auslogics Registry Defrag
- Delete duplicate files with Duplicate Cleaner

Defraggler can defrag only individual files if I am not wrong. I prefer automatic defraggers to manual or scheduled defraggers- they are more efficient and involve no work on my part. Simply install and forget about it- the software will defrag in the background during system idle, if fragmentation has become a problem. All this without taking away any resources from normal computing activities. Couldn’t be more convenient, especially for maintaining multiple drives!
I also recommend ccleaner (from the makers of defraggler) for doing a disk cleanup and emptying the browser caches.

In order to improve your computer’s performance it is important to have one of these tools: a registry cleaner, a Windows Optimizer and System Utilities. I have tried to find some programs or software in order to satisfy my requirements, but till now i did not find something equal or better than jv16 PowerTools 2009. It has done the job for me, and hopefully it will do the job for you too.
