How to speed up opening My Computer
Sometimes we find that it is pretty slow while displaying the drives in My Computer. One of the reasons for it is Image Acquisition Service which runs in the background. so if we disable or make it manual, then it fastens the opening of My Computer. Steps to Disable the Service is
1. Go to Start -> Run , type Services.msc and press enter
2. In the list of Services, go to “Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)” service and double click on it.
3. In the Startup Type, Either change it to Manual or Disabled and Press Ok.
Now you can try opening My Computer, it should be pretty fast.
There would be other reasons too. one more thing which you can watch out for , is Network Drives mapped in your System. When you
open My Computer it tries to connect to the Network drives. so you remove that option to fasten things up. The steps are as follows
My Computer –> Tools –> Folder Options –> View –> Uncheck “Automatically search for network files and folders”
