SPEED UP BOOT TIME

There is a simple way to speedup boot times: make your system do a boot defragment, which puts all the boot files next to one another on your HDD. When boot files are in close proximity to one another, your system will start faster.

1. Launch regedit.exe
2. Go to --- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
3. Edit the Enable string to Y
4. Exit the registry and reboot

HACK YOUR BIOS FOR FASTER BOOT TIME

1. Run Quick POST
2. Change boot order so the HDD or bootable drive is 1st
3. Disable Boot up Floppy Seek
4. Disable Boot Delay

FINE-TUNE REGISTRY

Get a registry cleanup tool to delete unneeded Registry entries and speed up startup times. Eusing Free Registry Cleaner (www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleaner/registry_cleaner.htm) is an excellent Registry cleanup tool. It combs your Registry for outdated and useless entries and then lets you choose which entries to delete and which to keep. It also lets you restore your Registry if you run into a problem.
