How to increase system boot speed

1. Start>run> and type ''regedit''

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / Session Manager / Memory Managment / PrefetchParameters / EnablePrefetcher.

3. Double click on "Enableprefetcher"

4. Past 1 in Value Date, and Hexadecimal most be on(enable)

Then restart the pc and and look at the blue lines again. See how many times or how fast it goes? Most of the time it just quickly passes that part.

RUN > regedit

*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Dfrg > BootOptimizeFunction

Enable set to Y

*HKEY_CURRENT_USER > CONTROL PANEL > DESKTOP

AutoEndTasks set to 1
WaitToKillAppTimeout set to 1000 - 2000
HungAppTimeout set to 1000 - 2000

*HKEY_USERS > .DEFAULT > CONTROL PANEL > DESKTOP

AutoEndTasks set to 1
WaitToKillAppTimeout set to 1000 - 2000
HungAppTimeout set to 1000 - 2000

*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CURRENTCONTROLSET > CONTROL

WaitToKillAppTimeout set to 1000 - 2000

Thanks for this tip, I'll have to see if it works. I think it will though, I've heard of mates doing something similar to this, so I guess this is what they were doing.

Once again, thanks

it does work for me though. i can boot and restart faster than the regular settings in my regedit. This doesn't destroy your system so its safe to try it out.

That's what I was saying - I havn't tried it yet. I said that I was confident that it would work as I knew of it working for others


Hope this clears it up.

do all setting loaded just like on a regular boot up? i've tried this before but other programs might got a problem during execution.
