Faster booting on WinXP!

12 November 2001, 04:01

Taken from 3dspotlight!

An utility for faster booting on Windows XP (apparently developed from MS itself) has been leaked on the net. I gave it a try and although I didn't see a huge improvement when loading windows (something close to a 2-3 second improvement - have heard of better results though), I DID notice a difference when restarting or shutting down the system in the other hand.

The utility is called BootVis, any comments on it?
In case you haven't tried it already I've uploaded it on our server here.

Shaved a couple of seconds from my start up time, but my shutdown takes longer...
