Need help starting my computer faster.

Any opinions of a freeware program that helps start up your computer at a faster pace. I'm running Windows XP. Thanks.

I also recommend defraging with perfectdisk, it will lay out all your startup programs for faster boot up, but it's not free. I think they have a free trial tho'

have fun.

 

also forgot to mention

BlackViper's website:

so you can turn off, or debloat windows services

also don't forget about

start->run->msconfig startup, and uncheck all those programs that you
don't need anymore, this will make windows boot faster.


good luck.

It also helps to move your pagefile from your OS drive to a physically separate hard drive (not a separate partition on the same drive). Only good if you have a second HDD installed in your computer, but it really improved my boot time. Details can be found here:
