This week’s edition of Lab Rats is up and ready to go! This week Andy and Sean show us how to use msconfig in Windows to control what loads when our computers start up. Advanced geeks might think this is a little pedestrian, but speaking as someone who has to wade through slow booting and slow loading computers every day, I can say that msconfig is probably one of the most underrated tools already built into windows. It’s very powerful and very easy to use, and gives you a great deal of control over the performance of your system. It’s definitely worth knowing how to work with. The pair say they can cut your boot time in half by using msconfig properly, and it’ll help you get rid of unwanted spyware and adware that load when your computer starts up, whether you want it to or not. And of course, the kitties make their grand appearances. Head on over and grab it now:
