How to increase Windows Startup Speed?

You have an emergency at some point of time and you need some data in your system. So you start up your system. Now Hang On...There is no problem with your system actually...but yet the system actually takes too much time to start which is very annoying. Isn't it? So anything from harry here? Ofcourse!!!

FYI - There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all competing for a slice of your CPU speed just like at Halls or demanded malls. Sounds funny but isnt. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will definitely increase your startup time, perhaps by several minutes. Some common examples are things related to AOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video players,managers,Torrent clients,boosters,Tracker checkers,Third Party Maintenance Software and what not...Alright - Lets come to Biz!!!

If you're not sure about an item, no big deal buddy! You can turn it off, restart your baby, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can always go back and re-enable that item in the Startup list. This tip alone should speed up your start-up by 250%.

1. Go to Start button Run
2. Type msconfig
3. Hit enter key or click the OK button

7. After making you choices press the OK button, you will be prompted to restart
computer to apply changes.
