Speed Up XP Boot with Boot Defrag



Speed up your boot time by enabling a Boot Defrag. Enabling Boot Defrag places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. This should be enabled by default, however it can be changed inadvertently by various software or other means. If you experience a slow boot, you should definitely check to make sure that your Boot Defrag is enabled.
To Enable or Disable the Boot Defrag, do the following:

click start->run->regedit

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction

Note: If you have a hard time seeing the images in thie guide, simply click on the image and you can view it larger
On the right hand side, locate Enable and double click on it and give it a value of Y to enable Boot Defrag or N to disable Boot Defrag

Reboot your computer
