Faster Booting Windows

One of the main causes of XP booting slowly is is the method of
loading drivers. Windows versions prior to XP loaded sequentially (one
by one), but since XP, it has been done concurrently (at the same
time), causing a slow-down. This information is written to file
C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\Layout.ini. While creating this file, XP does a
partial defragmentation of files listed in Layout.ini to make them
available in one contiguous area of hard drive, allowing them to load
faster. Windows Regular Defragmenter cannot defragment this File for
this you need a manual defragment utility from Microsoft called
BootVis, available at
(http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664). Extract the ZIP file
& run BootVis.exe(after defragmenting your hard disk).
In BootVis Go to File . New . Next Boot + Drivers Trace. It will
prompt you for repetitions (reboots & trace). Let it go with defaults.
After reboot, BootVis starts automatically & provides various reports.
Also with indication how well the boot process is going to optimize
your system. Select Trace > Optimize System. Again it will reboot.
Note:- If you have very old installation of windows then repeat
BootVis process 4 to 5 times.
