Boot Or Start Computer Faster©

Many computers take a lot of time to boot (or start ).This is due to many 

reasons.Some slight changes can do wonders for your system:

1. Press start->run then type msconfig and press enter. Go to the startup 

tab. 

Here you will see a list of startup items.

These are all the programs that automatically start when you boot your PC. It 

is these that slow down the boot up process.

So uncheck all the unwanted items like ms-office, messengers other utilities 

that u may not need at startup. Don't uncheck your antivirus software.


Restart your PC to and see for yourself, your PC will now boot faster....


2. A great new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot 

defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow 

for faster booting. By default this option is enabled, but on some systems it is 

not, so below is the information on how to turn it on:

Go to Start Menu and Click Run

Type in regedit then click ok

Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt

imizeFunction" Select "Enable" from the list on the right Right on it and select 

"Modify"Change the value to Y .

Reboot your PC and see the change yourself.

Now it's time for my favourite coup of tea^_^

3.SPEED UP BOOT BY DISABLING UNUSED PORTS.!!

You may have tried many tweaks like modifying windows XP startup 

applications, prefetches, unload DLLs method, etc. And yes those methods do 

work for me.

I have just accidentally found out another way to give you an extra boost in 

windows XP's boot performance. This is done by disabling your unused 

devices in Device Manager. for example, if you don't have input devices that 

are connected to one of your USB's or COM ports, disabling them will give you 

an extra performance boost in booting. Go to Control Panel -> System ->

Hardware tab -> device manager Disable devices that you don't use for your 

PC and then restart.

That is it, Good Luck...
