How to speed up your computer

Hey hey. I want to follow that advice:

 Spoiler

But uhm, that means:

1. I restart comp-> I kill explorer.exe-> I run maple through task manager

Or

2. I restart comp-> I open up maple-> I kill explorer.exe

Will the 2nd option be as effective? If not, which way should I be doing it? Ya sorry F4. I'm noob at computers.

Both work.
