Speed up restart
When I restart my computor it seems to take forever. Is there a way to speed
this process up. Can I limit the programs that the computor goes through during restart. Thanks for any help |

Speed up restart
Start All Programs Accessories System Tools System Information
You have started the System Information tool. In the left column, expand Software Environment (by clicking on the +) and click on Startup Programs. In the right column you are shown a list of all the programs that start with Windows. Now you must decide which of these you really need to have start with Windows. Some of the entries will be easy to understand, while others will be cryptic. To identify the cryptic entries, look he Start-up Applications http://www.sysinfo.org/startupinfo.html To stop a program, or one or more of its features, from starting with Windows, open the program and go through its menus until you locate the setting that starts the program or feature with Windows, then turn off that setting. Much of what you will see are not complete programs, but individual components of a program. Sometimes these cannot be prevented from starting with Windows unless the entire program is uninstalled. Most important of all: Do not succumb to the temptation to hack your system to prevent something from starting with Windows, and do not fall for the hype that encourages you to do so. Of course, if your bootup is being slowed by viruses or spyware, you are in deep trouble. Ted Zieglar "jgeorge3" wrote in message ... When I restart my computor it seems to take forever.
