ROM-DOS Posted January 1, 2006 CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 How fast can you boot to your desktop? I've got mine down to 16 seconds to boot to my desktop, . . .and 6 seconds for stutdown! For those of you wondering how to get faster boot-up and shutdown times check out; * Preformance Tuning and Services * * More XP Tweaks * . . .for a few tweaks I put together.

ROM-DOS Posted January 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2006 how much stuff do you have start up with windows tho? I have 30 processes running, which include ~ my AV(7 scaners), Spybot-Resident teatimer and Ad-Aware - Ad-Watch, all monitoring on startup.

ROM-DOS Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 like 33 processes . . .if your referring to me ~ NO ~ JUST 30 (right now, connected - at actual startup I have 29 background services running) ~ my AV(7 scaners), Spybot-Resident teatimer and Ad-Aware - Ad-Watch are included and sitting in my system tray. I could speed it up further, but I believe in giving Windows at least a 5 second window ~ lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROM-DOS Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 for my new system, https://testmy.net/forum/t-10735.msg105879;topicseen#msg105879 I am predicting boot times of sub 5s lol ~ you know that might be possible ~ . . .try the ~ Enabling super prefetch in Windows XP SP2 tweak! One of the many claims Microsoft makes for Windows Vista is that it will launch applications 15% faster than Windows XP does currently. This is done through improvements in the Prefetch functionality. There's no need to wait until Vista arrives; this improvement is already in Windows XP thanks to Service Pack 2. It just needs to be turned on. To enable super prefetch: Use a registry editing tool [start > Run > type; regedit > hit OK] navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters Insert a value with the following details:to create a double-word (DWORD) right click on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Between 60 and 90 seconds here. Three SCSI HDD's drives firing up is what lags my boot times. Sometime ago I acquired a program from Microsoft called 'BootVis' (no longer there) and it did reduce my boot-time from a cold start-up a few seconds. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/sysperf/fastboot/default.mspx TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROM-DOS Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 Before this gets too wacked, I'll point out a couple of articles that say it's all bunk. http://bink.nu/Article4556.bink http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000863.html . . .the couple of articles are referencing the same un-quotible and basically un-substantiated remark that Mark Russinovich may have said, . . .but do you think he or microsoft would really admit to it? ~ I don't think so.

TheHalf Posted January 2, 2006 CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 So it works well and you reccomend installing it? I have it installed and moved the shortcut for Bootvis to my startup menu. I run it once a week. If you install Bootvis, just click on the trace tab and click on optimize system. You also have the ability to make changes to 7 items in the left pane and save them for each time you run the program. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
