Speed up ur bootup time

[Fifaheat]

Hi,

My system seems to take ages to load up with WINDOWS xp (about 50 seconds)

Does anyone know how to speed the bootup time?

In the startup menu on msconfig, all there are is:

Systray
Rundll32
CTregrun
Updreg

i'm not sure weather to disable Ctregrun and updreg as i don't know what they do?? they both live in the WINDOWS folder?

Should i delete them from the startup


thanx

I got a guide on startupspeed on my homepage, check it and see if it is any good It's in the OS section....

i use Bootvis. Just go to cnet or something and download it. Email me at WHViperGTS@aol.com if you have any questions.

listen to venom..get bootvis...install it do a trace boot...reboot check how long it takes to boot them tools and optimize reboot ...then trace boot again...got mine down from 57 sec down to 34 sec almost twice as fast boot up...then there is a shutdown reg hack out there for short shut downs.

exactly, the first time i traced my boot, i booted in 91 secs!!!!!!!

sorry, then after i optimized and timed it again, i was loaded up in 42 secs!!!! Drastic improvement if i do say so myself, all it does is line up the drivers and tweak everything so it loads withough stutter.
