Tips for Windows Boot up Time

Simple guidelines to speed up Boot Time

In some Windows tips, you need to have a specialist software (like – a registry cleaner) to complete the process. But some tips could be done with the help of tools provided by Windows.

Before doing anything, it is important for you to ascertain that you reach the same place from where you have started the process (initial point). In case things don’t happen accordingly. For this, it is very essential to set a System Restore Point.

Let us begin with simple things.

Are all those fonts that have been installed by various programs used by you really required? In case they arent, then you should remove the fonts that are of no use.

A free font manager can assist you in performing this task.

Several programs start up with a computer system when it starts.

Welcoming antivirus software, firewall, etc. are some of them.

The remaining programs come under the category of: our software developer assumes you may always require the programs present without starting them on your own.

Programs such as the update service for Adobe Acrobat reader, some sort of instant messenger service, Skype, your webcam software, iTunes, the keylogger you installed to check your children aren’t doing naughty things, etc.

You also might be of the same opinion that it becomes convenient if these programs are always available.

Some of the applications could be seen at the bottom of the screen near the clock. Other programs wil hide away and show only upon checking the Task Manager.

Msconfig program that comes with Windows can be used to check them and dump them. Startup tab will dispay the entire list of autoloading programs which start at the time when the system boots up.

The major inconvenience associated with Msconfig is that not much information is revealed by it. So, a great deal of research is required to know if the programs listed by it are the one really needed by your PC or are merely “nice to have” programs.

Next, there is the Windows Registry.

It serves as a dumping ground and storage area by all the programs.

Windows Registry apparently stores each and everything.

Generally, it is where the last opened files on the menus are kept or stored. It saves your favorite programs startup position and size. As several fonts slow down the loading process of your computer, Windows Registry with so much of stuff (once useful but not now) also fulfills the same purpose keeping you from having a fast XP.

Although cleaning up the Windows registry is possible using built-in Regedit program (start just like in case of Msconfig), some risks are also associated with it. In case you take any wrong step, Windows will mess up or even stop working. Thus, it is far better to get this task done by software.
