    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
    Running Windows 7 Home Premium
