Microsoft
has developed a utility that will optimize (minimize) the startup &
resume time of Windows XP. Download
now from Microsoft. Once downloaded & extracted, load Bootvis.exe.
Select
Trace then Next Boot + Driver Delays.
Adjust
any of the settings here if you see necessary. Personally I’d just leave them
at their defaults (As shown) & hit the Ok button.
Once
rebooted & Bootvis has relaunched select Trace then Optimize
System. Your PC will reboot again now & once more Bootvis will launch
one final time to optimize your PCs startup & resume time.
