When you switch on your computer it takes some time to load. I know everyone knows this piece of information but my intention was not to explain about the booting process, but to give you a trick to speed up the booting time or windows start up time. I tried this registry hack as I was very much vexed up with the time taken to start my computer and it worked too.
Here is the way to turn on your PC in much less time:
- First click on the start button and press R it will take you to Run.
- Then type Regedit and Press Enter.
- This will open Registry Editor.
- Now look for the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
- In the resultant result find the Key Called “Startup Delay”
- Double Click On It.
- Click Decimal where it is base.
- Now its Default Value Is 4800000.
- Change The Value To 40000.
- Now close the Registry Editor and Restart Your Computer.
- You’ll See The Result after restarting the computer.
Note: Always back up your registry before doing any tweaking it.
this registry is not present in windows 7 pro
After surfing through the world wide web and coming across notions which were not beneficial, I assumed my entire life was over.
NONSENSE
What this setting actually does is to set the delay after bootup until the indexing service begins scanning. If you have disabled indexing, as the author suggests elsewhere, this setting will do nothing. If indexing is enabled, it will begin sooner, possibly before bootup is complete. How will this improve bootup time? The simple answer is PLACEBO – If you truly believe, it will seem faster. Many performance “tweaks” work this way.
