Make Xp Boot Up Faster (similar With Vista As Well)

[cyber_electrons 0]

I am using XP and here's how to do it... (doing it for vista is similar)

 

Launch msconfig from Start > Run > type in msconfig

 

Once the System configuration Utility comes up, go to the BOOT.INI tab. The default Timeout is 30 secs. For a quicker startup, reduce the number to something like 1 second (I haven't tried 0 as I am not sure about the effects).

 

Now to change the settings to take advantage of the RAM and CPU that you've got, click Advanced Options. Then tick the boxes which says /MAXMEM= and /NUMPROC=. The number should be the maximum RAM in MB and most CPU in the number of cores the CPU has.

 

 

When I am loading windows, the logo and the loading bar shows yea? It used to take me around 7 ~ 10 scroll of the bar to load, but now it takes around 3 to 4 - if you know what I mean.
