Double Windows Boot Speed

Windows 7:

1. [Start] > Type "msconfig" > Select "msconfig.exe" > new panel appears
2. Select "Start Up" panel
3. Deselect (or leave unchecked) programs that you wish to manually boot (or turn on) as opposed to having your computer do it on start up.
   *Do not deselect programs from Start Up that you don't know what their purpose is. The purpose may be vital to your computer functioning.

Windows Vista:

Nearly the same steps as Windows 7

1. [start] > type "msconfig" > click "msconfig" (the extension may or may not be there due to your settings)
   *If permission is asked for: select "Continue"
2. In the new window, go to panel "Start Up"
3. Deselect any programs you would rather start yourself as opposed to it being started upon turning your computer on.
   *Do not deselect programs from Start Up that you don't know what their purpose is. The purpose may be vital to your computer functioning.

Windows XP:

1. [start] > [run] > insert "msconfig" into the box > [enter]
2. In the "System Configuration Utility" select panel "Start Up"
3. Deselect any programs you would rather start yourself as opposed to it being started upon turning your computer on.
   *Do not deselect programs from Start Up that you don't know what their purpose is. The purpose may be vital to your computer functioning.

I have all three (Vista, 7, XP) at my house and tried all of the directions out myself to ensure you that they work. Speed upon start up (or boot) is dependent on the programs you choose to turn on at start up (makes sense) in addition to other variables, such as, the number of processors being utilized.Here's my post for utilizing all the processors your computer has available:

Win7 VS WinXP

Someone asked me, "Is windows 7 better than Windows XP?"

For me, Windows 7 is better. For you? Let's find out!
    The reason why people like XP is because it is fast, very adaptable, simple, and has been a long success in the computing world.

    People don't like change especially when there is no need for change. When people are perfectly content with Windows XP, why change to a new design that will require learning new ideas and controls? I think the change to Windows 7 is a nice step toward evolution in computers. I don't like to follow trends as much as every other classy computer user, but sooner or later Windows 7 users won't approve of Windows 10 Mega Edition. Plus, software is being directed toward new OS (Operating Systems) like Windows 7.
Windows 7 has features Windows XP doesn't, but people argue that the features are hurting more than helping due to their tamper on performance.


The answer is grey and up to oppinion.
The thing i like about Windows 7 is that if you don't wish to use all of the features you don't have to.


The Aeroview look bothers many users. To disable it: 
[Right Click Desktop] > [Personalize] > Scroll to [Windows Classic] > [double click it!].
