Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / July 2007Boot-Up Time
It takes forever for my Windows XP to load, but my Startup folder is empty. Used to load much faster. Seems like its loading a lot of junk I don't (or no longer) use. How can I strip it down so it loads only what I need and shortens the boot-up time ? Hello, go to Run -> msconfig -> tab "Startup". There are often programs you don't need and which are consuming a lot of computing power. Greetings, P.

Even Better than MSCONFIG , try using this program ,it displays EVERYTHING that will load at ur windows startup, some data won't be shown in MSCONFIG, trust me: Download From my virtual Drive: http://www.4shared.com/file/21081685/815aa02d/Autoruns.html ----------------- NEO If you no longer use a program, uninstall it. Open the "junk" programs, look through their menus, find the setting that starts the program with Windows, undo that setting. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > It takes forever for my Windows XP to load, but my Startup folder is empty. > Used to load much faster.

There's lots of places where an autorun program can be hiding, not just your startup folder. Take a look at http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml There's a similar program from sysinternals but it isn't as simple: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/AutoRuns.mspx Other topics that could be helpful are, "registry clean-up", "spyware detection", "disk defragmentation".
