Computer Efficiency: Keeping A Clean Registry Through The Logic Of Reduced Applications

Computer efficiency is determined by the working habits of the computer operator.  Undisciplined use of applications nearly always leads into a dirty Windows registry and poor system performance.  Unnecessary applications consume RAM, overload the hard disk, and even reduce screen display space.   Poor download habits accumulate into a cluttered explorer toolbar, a crowded desktop, and numerous memory hungry task bar applications.  Abundant system clutter also provides a fertile breeding ground for malware, spyware, and viruses.

Herein is the logic of reduced applications.

Part I:

• Every active application consumes system resources.
• System resources are limited.
• The greater the burden upon available resources, the slower a system runs.
• Installed applications increase Registry size.
• The larger the Registry, the more susceptible it is to error.
• Registry errors can result in system failure.
• Task bar components increase the Windows system workload.
• Downloaded software often drags in unnecessary and unwanted side items.
• Internet surfing promotes a trigger-happy download finger.
• Users seldom read all that is important.
• Active, open email interrupts and delays purposeful work.

Part II.

• Nearly every system contains unused applications.
• Greater RAM and hard drive space promotes user waste.
• No one likes a slow computer.
• Registry errors inhibit user productivity.
• Most taskbars are bloated with unused applications.
• Current downloaded software tends to link with an explorer toolbar add-on.
• Unproven toolbars open doors for malware, spyware, and viruses.
• Multiple toolbars reduce display space.
• Reduced display space forces additional window scrolling
• Internet surfers tend to work from a relaxed position.
• Browsing consumes time.
• Internet surfing dulls the wits.
• Users can scarcely resist the chime of an arriving email.

Changing Habits: Reduce The Number Of Installed Applications.

To correct a bad habit, one must recognize and agree that the habit is bad.  Just as a laid back, relaxed working position reduces computer productivity, a clutter of unused tools hampers activity.  Imagine the success of a football team that lacks aggressive playing habits.  Learn to set an assertive focus on the task at hand.

Image the success of a cook who muddles his kitchen with mechanic tools.  Clean up the work area.  Cast out unused tools.  Just follow this simple process:

• Study the items listed under Program Manager.
• Uninstall the unused applications.
• Check out your screen saver.  Dump the fancy ones and go back to simple.
• Check out the explorer toolbar.
• Dump all but one search engine.  Do you really need Bing, Google, Yahoo, and all the others?
• Rid your system of all other unnecessary toolbar add-ons.
• Look over your desktop.
• Drop the unused icons.  Consolidate those that remain into folders.
• Examine every item on your taskbar.
• Know the application’s objective.  Determine usage, and then disable auto-start on all but the daily purposed items.
• Run a Registry cleaner.
• Defrag your hard drive.
• Run a cloned or duplicate file finder.
• Execute a Start-up manager and a Short-cut fixer.
• Learn to ignore the chime of an arriving email, or else turn it off.

After the system is cleaned, stop downloading every pretty program that comes down the Internet voice vine.  Lean and controlled: that is the logic of reduced system applications.
