boot your computer faster









Boot your Computer Faster

















Boot your 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.

 


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


You may have tried many tweaks like modifying windows XP
start-up 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
.
