It is such a pain in the neck when your computer boots rather slowly, especially when you are in a hurry to get things done on the computer. Three minutes of waiting for the computer to completely boot is already "appalling". Imagine if it takes even longer than that!
We have heard of a lot of products promising to speed-up the boot-up process of our computers. But before we dive into purchasing any of these products, let us take a look first at the root causes of the slow boot-up.
Generally, there are two reasons for this. First, there might be too many startup programs and, second, there might be registry errors.
1. Startup programs are those programs that automatically load as you switch on the computer. Some of these are found on the system tray of the desktop, while some are running in the background. The more they are, the longer the boot time.
You can disable some of these items by clicking START > RUN. Then, type MSCONFIG. The System Configuration Utility opens. Thereafter, click on STARTUP tab. You will see a list of Startup Items on the STARTUP tab and they have checkmarks before them. Uncheck those items that you wish to disable. Be careful though in disabling the items. Disable only those items that you are sure of. Otherwise, you might inadvertently disable an essential item. If you are not sure about the item, do a research by doing a Google search of the startup item.
2. Registry errors exist when some of the registry entries that have accumulated over time do not exist anymore but your registry still tries to link to these entries or files. Likewise, it could happen when some of the registry entries get corrupted.
What you can do to solve this problem is by using registry cleaners. Some of the registry cleaners in the market today that you might want to look into are the following:
