Hi, list you notebook specs and the time it takes to power up.
From the time i press the power button to the time i can get any program open, it takes 42 seconds.

I mostly used the tips on the FAQ from this forum. Also, i used this site:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1768883,00.asp
I will try to get it to start even faster.
One thing i don't want to disable is the themes.
Disabling network can get it faster as well, although i haven't disabled it.
I still want to reformat or uninstall a bunch of programs. I got my 700m last week.

700m
2 GHz
1.25 mb ram
40 gb 54k hd

38 seconds to start up and 11 seconds to shut down. That shut down is very fast compared to my i1000, it takes about 45 seconds to close down.

42 seconds boot to desktop on I6000 with 30 gig drive.

This is the one to use...

Microsoft has a software, Boovix.exe, which they designed for developers, but you can use it to help you officially measure you start up time.

k, I must be doing something wrong 'cause I've downloaded bootvis, installed it and done the boot trace and boot trave with driver delays and then done optimize system, but it doesn't seem to do anything. My bootup is still, what would appear to be 71 seconds...at least that's what the display time shows.

What gives?

Oops..sorry. 10 SECONDS I meant. That's why it's bizzare. 10 seconds to shutdown but more than 60 to boot up.
