Title: Making Windows XP Start 60% Faster
Post by: bob3160 on January 06, 2006, 03:46:24 AM

Making Windows XP Start 60% Faster
Whenever you start your computer, you are faced with a few moments of thumb twiddling while Windows XP boots and prompts you to log on. Although you should expect to wait for a few moments, sometimes Windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact, you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want. This chapter explores how to put these techniques to work.
for more info;
download: 32 KB - pdf called Making Windows XP Start Faster (http://bob3160.no-ip.org:4445/Making%5FWindows%5FXP%5FStart%5FFaster.pdf)
Enjoy  :)

I also have my own tweaker that boosts startup and shutdown speed as much as 50%. Bootups and shutdowns are almost instant now :)
I'll upload it in few minutes, though it's still not finished completely...

hmm that PDF is way too generic and contains minimum speed bootup informations (if we ignore the services section) ....

what about at least mention BootVis ? :)

Though i had problems finding detailed documentation for certain things and some options were having strange values although they were meant for the very same tweak. But i digged only those which were repeated most times possibly excluding wrong tweaks.
