| If yes, here is a tip: Create a text document, open it and then type in:del c:\windows\prefetch\*.* /q After that, save the file as ntosboot.bat in C:\, then click on Start>Run>and type in gpedit.msc, under Windows Configs>Scripts>Shut Down, then double click the Shut Down Script and add ntosboot.bat. WinXP now starts faster. Have fun!  |

| I might try it, even if my computer boots fast enough like it is. | |||

| What exactly does this do? I like a nice technical description before I start tweaking strange settings. =( | |||

| What I mean is that in what you said, there wasn't anything that looked harmful, while what I posted could screw up your computer. | |||

| It deletes all files in the prefetch folder. Searching on google I found this. The prefetch shouldn't be cleaned too often according to that site. I don't do this, since it would be a folder which you can clean once in awhile but not at every shut down. Prefetch files are supposed to make the computer faster, not slower. It makes programs that you use more often little faster. At least it's supposed to make them faster. |

You can also disable Prefetch altogether (there's a .reg tweak that can do that), I did and I didn't notice any programs starting slower however.  There's also a thread at neowin.net explaining how to make your windows folder smaller, found here. I think that's where and how I found out that prefetch can be disabled.  Another way would be to disable startup items and/or disable services you don't need or use, Black Vipor's site has really good info on what services to disable and what not. Do so at your own risk, one wrong move and your system may become destablized, or in other words "Hosed"! Thankyou! |

| Yes. I was not asking "What is the result?" but wondering what the means were. Now I know. =o | |||

| My Windows XP SP2 starts up in about 45 seconds from pushing the power button on my machine (time includes the input of an nine-character long and case sensitive password when logging in ), so I'm already satisfied with it. I rather keep a longer start up time but a quick progeam startup when selecting something I rather recommend to run defrag regularly - I installed an alternative one, O&O Defrag, and made a full defragmentation ... three hours for four partitions of a 120 GB HDD (and only about 10 GB used, including the system partition ) - I'm satisfied with the clean reorder of my files  |

| Ah I miss the MacOS 7.5 days when I knew what practically everything in my System Folder did... Knowing my Windows folder would be like memorizing 8,000,000 digits of Pi for fun. |

| 45 seconds? Jesus christ. My Gentoo desktop starts in about 10 seconds and I run ALOT of crap on boot. Music Player Daemon Portmap Fam net SSH CUPS and fetchmail. That doesn't even count the usual stuff, Networking, udev and whatnot. |

Macintosh have to win the average for fast boot times. I seen Macintosh computers and x86 computers with both Linux and Windows. Mac OS still boots the fastes (I swear it took like five seconds). Not saying that i'm favoring Macintosh or anything. But that's personal experince.  (edited by Kitten Yiffer on 11-12-04 02:45 PM) |

| Seeing as the only time my computer is turned off is during a power outage or when it crashes, I'll take faster program loading. DarkSlaya: Try running a adware-killing program for the first time on a computer that's been on DSL for three years. XD My old computer. |
