Many times Windows users face slow computer problem. Their system becomes very slow and it takes lots of time in performing an operation like copying files, opening programs, etc.
It might be due to lots of unnecessary programs are installed and their services are running in background which take system resources. It might be also due to eye candy effects like animations, shadow effects, etc.
Microsoft has released a Fixit to automatically diagnose and fix causes of poor system performance, such as the power saver setting, multiple anti-virus programs running, multiple startup programs running, and too many users logged on to the computer.
It fixes following issues:
- Power plan is set to power saver
- More than one user is logged on to this computer
- Multiple anti-virus programs are running
- Several programs are running when Windows starts
- Running advanced visual effects (like Vista transparency)and running multiple programs at once may affect performance

I am glad this tool is out and Microsoft admits that they have holes in there operating system that can be remedied, but man us PC user's may be taking a lot of cr*p from mac users saying that our own creator needs to make tools to fix our OS
