Sweetness! Nice one Hyper.
OK - here is another tip of the day lol.
The /prefetch:1 command.
Go to your media player shortcut/find it in the start bar - right click, properties, look at the end of the target line - /prefetch:1
MS add this command to their programs to speed up load time. You can add this to most apps, some return error messages. If they do, simply remove the /prefetch:1 command.
So right click your favourite apps and add it on to drastically speed up load times
More to follow
Edit:
An obvious one but a good one... (sure most
Disable unwanted programs loading at start of Windows.
Why? It takes time to load all those programs/icons in system tray/services. Don't need it? Don't load it.
Start > Run > msconfig
Go to the Start Up tab
Look at the paths of the programs, turn off anything you don't need at the start... (those 'helper' 'updater' things seem common for itunes etc) I turn off most things bar anti virus/gpu drivers.
Cheers to Fadz too
