Vista Tutorial - ReBoot Time

Hello TimUnrue,

I am wondering myself if it will make any difference?
Maybe I'll give it a temporary try also, at a later time!

I just "tweaked" a second off of mine, I changed it above.

For some reason I thought it would be slower, so
Running Processes: 52

Well, after applying a few more tweaks, and messing around with some settings randomly, I rebooted only to find that "BOOTMGR" was missing. I then inserted the Vista disk and fixed the error through command prompt. Because of that my time new time was:



I tried again and was able to bring my old time down 10 seconds:



I did some more tweaking and got it down to:

Hello All,

Here is my new number with non-secure auto Logon.



I was just wondering if it really made a difference; now I am going to put it back like it was.

Hmmm... I know my system isn't as fast as most here... but my reboot time is horrible...
169 seconds?? Thoughts?

Ultimate x64 and XP Pro
Athlon 3700+ 2.2
3 gig OCZ memory
Dual SLI GForce 6800 GS
2 SATA 320 gig Barracuda drives running XP Pro and Vista Ultimate each on its own drive

Hi everyone,

Here is my reboot time. It is not the fastest, but when I compare it to the machine I use at work (over 10 minutes), it is like 'Speedy Gonzales'.

You are not alone Lid8nhx,have a look at mine and it will cheer you up!
3 and4 are after tweaking,it is good fun though.

Chuckles...It does cheer me up a little~~ss~
I just think I have crap running that perhaps doesn't need to be..
I am pretty sure when first installed it started way faster as I was suprised at how fast initially..~

Wow this thread is great. I started at almost 90secs before using the info provided to do tweaking. The 4 core boot up made a huge difference.


Thanks for the great write ups.

Hello Lid8nhx,

Have a look at your "System Configuration-Startup" file; see what you can trim at startup!

See mine here.

Let us know if it helps!
