1. REDUCE RECYCLE BIN MAXIMUM SIZE
This is set fairly high by default, we recommend setting it to 10 GB or 10,000 MB. To do this right click on the recycle bin icon and select "Properties" now you would see custom size, enter the click apply
2. REDUCE SIZE OF SYSTEM RESTORE
The default size setting for the hard drive is 15%. Hold down your windows key and press your pause key, then select the System protection tab. In the list under Protection Settings, you can see which volumes have this feature enabled. Click on the disk partition that you want to adjust, and click the Configure button.
A new window will open and present you with a slider that you can adjust to change the the amount of storage this feature will use. Click apply after entering your value. Selecting a size lower than the current amount of space will result in the oldest entries in System Restore being deleted first.
3. TURN SCREEN SAVER OFF
To do this, right click on your desktop and select personalize, then click screen saver at the bottom of the window and select none in the selection box. Click apply or ok
4. TURN OFF HIBERNATION
Hibernation lets you return to the place you were when you turned off your computer last, by storing that information in memory on your hard disk. To me that's a huge waste.
Microsoft have again made it harder for users to do this.
To turn it off, click Start and then type cmd in the Start Search box. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator. When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue. At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off, and then press Enter. Type exit and then press Enter to close the Command Prompt window.
5. CONTROL YOUR START UP PROGRAMS
These are those little icons that pop up in the bottom right of your taskbar, and programs that load in the background when you start up your operating system.
There are a couple of ways of doing this:
Using msconfig command
Using start up manager software
6. MSCONFIG COMMAND
To access it, click your start button and type in msconfig in the search box and press enter. This will bring up a window with the title System Configuration Utility. Theirs a lot more you do with this, but I won't go into it now. Select the start up tab and this will show you whats starting up and from where it's loading from. Now uncheck the boxes to disable those programs from starting up
7. TURN OFF INDEXING SERVICE ON HARD DRIVE
Open your Windows Explorer and go to drive (C) or your preferred one, click it once then right click it and select Properties. Then uncheck the option down the bottom of the window and click ok or apply.
