For desktop pc better performance, I suggest you set your desktop background/wallpaper and screensaver to "none",   then go to control panel, system, advanced, performance, settings, check 'adjust for best performance'. and  right click on desktop, click properties, click 'appearance', choose ' windows classic style'.\n      Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/power schemes/settings/turn off monitor after 10 minutes, and set the next 2 drop down boxes (  1.  Turn off Hard Disks,  and 2. System Standby) to "never"/apply/ok/ok.\n Then Start/Control Panel/system/advanced tab/performance/settings/'adjust for best performance/apply/ok/ok\n     Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/hibernate/take check mark out of "Enable hibernation"/apply/ok/ok.\nIf I'm going to be away from the pc for more than an hour, then after shutting it down properly, I unplug it.\n\n\n      For security/safety purposes,  to make sure you are not getting a spoofed webpage, right-click desktop/properties/display properties/appeareance/color scheme/olive green/apply/ok/ok ,  or  go to Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/appearence/color scheme/ eggplant or wheat/apply/ok/ok. \n  Then if you click onto a webpage, and it comes up in the MS default blue, then you will know you are on a fake/spoofed page, and you should close out immediatly, and run a scan for infections.       Right-click desktop/properties/display properties/appeareance/color scheme/eggplant or wheat/apply/ok/ok

If you wanted to keep everything, software etc you should try Norton Ghost, other wise the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard in accessories on the start menu should work\n\nNever used it myself though

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.
