How to speed up Windows startup time

This brief tutorial will show you how to easily trim a second or two from the time it takes for Windows to start up.

1. Each time Windows starts you’re presented with the Windows “boot logo” and a progress bar. Displaying these items actually causes Windows to load a bit more slowly – because it has to load them. This tutorial will show you how to disable that boot logo and progress bar, allowing Windows to load faster. Note: I timed my Windows startup with and without the boot logo and status bar. The start time averaged 1.9 seconds faster without the logo and status bar.
2. Click the Windows Start button and select Run from the menu.
3. Enter msconfig in the Run window and click OK.
4. Select the BOOT.INI tab. Place a check in the box labeled /NOGUIBOOT, click the Apply button and then the OK button.
