Disable background
tasks and applications.
Their are 4 places background
tasks and applications can load when you start Win95.
1.) Your StartUp
folder:
"Right"click on the start
button, and choose "Open." Double Click on the "Programs" folder, and
then on the "StartUp" folder.
2.) Your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files:
Choose "Run" from the Start
Menu and type SYSEDIT and hit the "OK" button. There
you will find your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS You can (usually)
safely delete all the contents in both your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS,
Win95 does not need them.
I recommend *completely*
clearing out your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS.
Make sure after you clear your Autoexec.bat and
Config.sys you do not see a slider on the side of their windows. If you
see a slider the files still contains spaces, highlight the dead space
and delete it until the slider disappears.
3.) Your Win.ini
file:
Open the Win.ini file by typing
"win.ini" in the Win95 Run line, and click "OK."

Make sure you have nothing
after "Load=" or "Run=" in you Win.ini file.
4.) Your
registry
Go to the Run command and type
REGEDIT
In the Registry Editor go
to: My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Look for any useless entries
and remove them.
Note: Always backup your
registry before making
changes! |
