Disable XP Boot Logo

It is possible to disable the XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the overall boot process. Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert ... ), but if your system runs without any problems then it should not matter. • Edit boot.ini. • Add " /noguiboot" right after "/fastdetect". Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the new switch.

Very Slow Boot When Networking

On some XP Pro installations, when connected to a network (peer-peer in this case), the computer boot time is over 1:40. The system seems to freeze after logging in and the desktop may not appear or will freeze for a minute. As timed with the utility, Bootvis.exe, the problem was with the driver mrxsmb.dll, adding over 67 seconds to the boot time. Turning off and restoring file and printer sharing eliminated 65 seconds from the boot time. • Alt-click (or right-click) on Network Places > Properties. • Alt-click on Ethernet Adapter connection > Properties. • Un-check "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" > OK. • Reboot. • If you need file or printer sharing, repeat the above, re-check the box and re-boot again.

Turn Off System Restore to Save Space

By default, Windows XP keeps a backup of system files in the System Volume Information folder. This can eat up valuable space on your hard drive. If you don't want Windows to back up your system files: • Open the Control Panel. • Double-click on System. • Click the System Restore tab. • Check "Turn off System Restore on all drives". • Hit Apply. • You may now delete the System Volume Information folder. Warning! If you turn this off you will not be able to use Windows System Restore to restore your system in case of failure.

Speed Up Detailed View in Explorer

If you like to view your files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" view here is a tweak to speed up the listing of file attributes: Viewing files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" mode shows various attributes associated with each file shown. Some of these must be retrieved from the individual files when you click on the directory for viewing. For a directory with numerous and relatively large files (such as a folder in which one stores media, eg: *.mp3's, *.avi's etc.), Windows Explorer lags as it reads through each one. Here's how to disable viewing of unwanted attributes and speed up file browsing: • Open Windows Explorer. • Navigate to the folder which you wish to optimize. • In "Details" mode right-click the bar at the top which displays the names of the attribute columns. • Uncheck any that are unwanted/unneeded. Explorer will apply your preferences immediately, and longs lists of unnecessary attributes will not be
