Tune Up Your PC

This is probably the most frequent thing I demonstrate to people, and repeating it time and again was the thing that first got me thinking about writing a blog. Ironic then that it should take me several months of posts to get around to it, but there you go. This post will finally give you all the information you need to reduce your turn-on and shut-down speeds, and hopefully teach you a little something about how Windows works.

This post is broken down into several short posts that I have published separately for your ease of reference. All of this material will be included in my mythical "PC User Manual" that I occasionally refer to and will eventually complete.

This has truly been a mammoth task to properly document, and I hope you find it really useful!
