I recommend these registry changes too:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
HungAppTimeout 1000
WaitToKillAppTimeout 1000

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
WaitToKillServiceTimeout 1000

HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
HungAppTimeout 1000
WaitToKillAppTimeout 1000

Went through these tips and they look great! I’ve read similar ideas from other sites in the past but one thing I just wanna add is that we can actually reduce as much as 30 seconds booting time if we just change the setting by running msconfig and changing the default value from 30 to 0. I’m not sure if many readers knew it already, but honestly I didn’t know that before, not until I’ve read it. For those who would like to know the trick, here I found a good tutorial on how to do it. http://www.speedypc.org/how-to-speed-up-windows-boot-time.html

I finally got so frustrated with the way my modest but vital little Dell ran that I lugged it to a local guru who gave it a tuneup and has the thing running in all ways better than new out of the box. He also recommended CCleaner (called CrapCleaner at the time) and I’ve used it ever since. It’s a great tool and at the right cost = nothing! You tips on altering BIOS are very appealing; I may work up the courage to try doing this. Some folks are afraid of big dogs; I have a very big German shepherd, but I fear messing with BIOS!

Good site! I had performed the Do Not Clear Virtual Memory registry hack on my on work computer but forgot what I did. I also had not documented my changes (bad boy!). I was glad to find this on your site as I plan on implementing it on another work computer. Some may view this as a security risk but if you are running full disk encryption there really is not much risk involved.
