Optimisats Boot Files

Normal file fragmentation scatters the pieces of a file all over your hard disk. This invariably also affects the files that load at boot time. You can defragment the files that load at system startup to enable faster loading. Just open Regedit(START>>RUN>>Type REGEDIT)



Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg

\BootOptimizeFunction




A setting called Enable under this key needs to be set to Y . This setting Defragments the boot files, and it might relocate start-up files into contiguous clusters on the volume, reducing the movement of the disk head when reading the volume.



You need to restart the computer for the change/effect to take place. Back up your registry before you do it(click here). For more hacks see registry hacks section
