Computer performing even worse after tweaks to apps running at startup
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to make my computer faster, as in - booting, or accessing files, but it seems to have gotten worse.
I have edited Windows 7 so that almost NO applications are running at startup
Gotten rid of some visual effects
and Defragged C:/
But now it is even slower than before

In case this is a hardware problem, these are my specs:
intel core i3
2.00GB RAM
HDD, not using SSD
