Fantastic tips here, I'm particularly excited to try the multicore boot.

I was jazzed about that one too. Then, I saw the note about Vista (or, maybe it was Vista 64-bit) using all cores to boot up by default. I went through the steps just in case -- no change. Still, it was great information to have. These are great tutorials.

Hi TBolt,

It woud be for both of them by default. Somehow some folks get a faster boot time with it, while others do not.

Thank you for posting back your results.

Did about 90% of the tweaks here. When all was said and done I went from 99 seconds to 82. Pretty impressive, about a 12% increase in reboot speed. I notice more in the initial boot then the shutdown which was pretty fast to begin with, but the "2 second shutdown" was helpful.

I still have that annoying black screen before the desktop loads, even after the TMM has been disabled. I haven't disabled the Auto Generating System Restore point however, prob would help but I like that feature since I'm pretty lame when it comes to monthly tasks for a PC.

This has been great. I didn't realize there were SO many pre-scheduled tasks alone in Vista that I was unaware of. It's going to be a long while before I fully learn everything about Vista, like I had with XP to get it to where it runs fast and smooth. But for the most part, it's running pretty darn well now.

Thanks for this.

I use PerfectDisk 2008 to defragment my hard drive. Does this program (along with other hard driver defragmenting programs) defrag the registry? Or do I have to use the Auslogics program? (I'll try it out anyways)

**Brink** · 10-30-2008

Hi Frank,

I'm not familiar with PerfectDisk 2008 features, so I do not know if it will defrag the registry. I did not see the registry mentioned at the PerfectDisk 2008 features website. Not all disk defragmenter programs do though. The Auslogics Registry Defrag is a good one though, and they just updated it to.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
