The slowest part to any PC (except for the user) is the hard drive. It is orders of magnitude slower than the Memory or CPU. So it makes sense to spend a few minutes configuring Windows to make best use of your hard drive.
The paging file (also called: Windows swap file or virtual memory file) is a system file that Windows uses when it runs out of actual RAM. If Windows memory is big enough, I suggest to disable paging file.
Defragmenting Your Drive,make sure your hard drive is properly defragmented.
disable System Restore
if you have a problem, you can restore your system to a previous state. Sounds nice, it even works, but the problem is that Windows uses huge amounts of your hard drive to save restore information from the day dot.
