Does excessive shortcuts slow your computer?

Answer 1

It is said that too many shortcuts putting on the desktop can slow down your computer. But this opinion is objected by others.
Personally, I keep the size of contents on my desktop as minimam as possible to keep a comparative fine speed of my computer. But for those who have a well-configurated computer, they have many files and shortcuts on their desktop, and it seems like that they still have a fairly fast speed.

For other methods to prevent your computer from running slowly, you can Google that problem and you will find the following answer:

There are many reasons that cause a slow running computer:
* Bloated registry with errors
* Fragmented registry and hard disk
* Too many junk files take up the memory

In order to speed up computer, there are quite a lot of work to do: clean and fix registry errors, defragment registry, clean hard disks, optimize Windows system, etc.

Most of these tasks can't be done manually, thus you'd better use a Windows system optimizer to have them done. Go and learn such software and you will know how to speed up your computer.
