WindowsXP includes a neat little feature called boot defrag which helps speed up the startup process, but for some reason it's not always enabled by default. Of course this can be easily turned on with a simple registry hack.<BR><BR>Go to Start, then Run and from there type Regedit and press the ok button. Follow this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Dfrg -> BootOptimizeFunction. Look for the "Enable" string and if the value is Y, boot defrag is enabled. If the value is not Y, change it to Y, close and reboot.<BR><BR>If it wasn't enabled before, you should notice your system boots much quicker now. Please keep in mind, only some computers do not have this feature enabled by default.
