Optimize the Windows Registry
Don't edit Registry Manually,you can break your PC instead use Registry Optimizer like Tune-Up Utilities, C Cleaner etc.
Why Registry Optimization is necessary ?
When you Install, Uninstall the Software,Games, etc. they leave behind some Registries , which consist of nothing but Creation Date, Installation Date, Software Version etc.
and these Consumes up Computers Virtual Memory.

Some Other Important Points
- If your Computer usually remains Slow, then never add Additional Themes, Logon Screen, Effects
- Many will Suggest to Disable Aero Themes, but it have very little effect on the Windows Speed, but if disabling creates Miracle for you then go with it.
- If you are just a normal PC User, Never Overclock your Computer for Better Speed as you'll end in Breaking up your PC [i'd short Circuited my RAM and Graphic Card on First Overclocking] and Manufacturer will not entertain Warranty.
