Yes friends, it just booted me in xp in amazing 30 seconds,
I remembered the days when i clean installed xp without any drivers,
It really decreased boot time for me from 2-3 minutes to just 30 seconds!!

I got its info from eBOOk = TweakGuides Tweaking Companion for Xp.


BootVis description
BootVis - Microsoft tool to provide faster XP boot and resume times
BootVis is a performance trace visualization utility that you can use with Windows XP systems. Customer research shows a frequently requested feature that users want from their PCs is fast system startup, whether from cold boot or when resuming from standby or hibernation.

The Windows development team at Microsoft has taken bold steps in making fast startup PCs a reality with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

Here are some key features of "BootVis":

· Boot to a useable state in a total of 30 seconds
· Resume from Hibernate (S4) in a total of 20 seconds
· Resume from Standby (S3) in a total of 5 seconds


It is not available from microsoft downloaded, i ve uploaded it to my website

*drjimit.googlepages.com/bootvisdownload

or u may google it.

Just < 1 MB size.


You may first try to see detailed boot loading proccess and detailed charts it creates, to c what is slowing down ur boot.

For who dont know more
from trace menu Just click " Optimise System "
let it work after a boot, when it says finish ,just reboot, u wont believe.



::: EDIT :::


1 more important setting to do, especially 4 those who have little speed gain,
after you have optimised ur sysem once with Bootvis,
Do these 2 things,

1. Delete everything in C:\windows\prefetch folder EXCEPT Layout.ini

2. Desable Task schedular service from,
start> run>msconfig>services> Task Schedular Service = uncheck it.

It will also prevent restoring previous state.

SOURCE :TweakGuides Tweaking Companion for Xp

You have to repeat Bootvis and this 2 steps, every time you do major change in ur sysem,

Hope his Helps,

Dr. Jimit

Strange, my XP used to boot in 25 seconds flat.

Vista boots in 40 seconds from a cold boot, resume from hibernation in 8 seconds.

^I have heard that you should keep files created in the present week in the prefetch folder,those older than one week should only be deleted.

Its a myth that emptying preftech folder speeds up Windows. Instead it does the reverse.

I dont think it speeds up windows performance , but it definately speeds up boot of windows,

not performance after boot.
