Make Windows XP Boot Faster

You can make Windows XP boot faster by 5 - 15 seconds (on some machines).

To do so do the following:

1.Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2.Locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement\PrefetchParameters

3.Make sure you backup the keys by exporting them to a .reg file.
4.On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).
5.Close the registry editor.
6.Restart your computer.
