Optimize Windows XP boot times.

Here is a tutorial on how to optimize windows XP boot times. We get our Pentium III systems up in under 30 seconds. It covers which services can be disabled and enabled. It links to Microsoft guides and 3rd party tools.

Run bootcfg.. that helps windows load faster.

How exactly do you use bootcfg?

Will this work for Windows 98?

All bootcfg does (at least while running, using DOS) is show you what your options as you pick in msconfig.

Sorry I meant Bootvis.. I got the folder named bootcfg. Basicly all you do is load it and then go to trace and optimize. You can also test it to see how fast windows is loading. And I believe it only works with xp. I could be wrong though as I have only used it in xp. Below is a link for it.

Defrag your boot sector, and then change your boot priorities (i.e. change it so the hard drive is checked first) These are to just name a few ways of making it even faster.
