what Steps you follow and recommend to make windows xp work faster?

Solution 1:

Check what is being run at startup using autoruns, and get rid of anything you don't need. Also, use CCleaner

Solution 2:

I suggest not cleaning the Prefetch folder. See this article for reasons why this is not recommended.

Solution 3:

• Defragment HDDs
• Uninstall all applications, which you didn't using.
• Clear applications at startup
• Set all services (Control Panel -> Administration Tools -> Services), which you didn't using to "Start Manualy"

Solution 4:

I right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Performance Settings, Adjust for best performance. That turns off animations and similar (you can see exactly what it turns off, there are tick boxes). It looks less pretty but makes a difference to performance.
