Slow startup Windows has become a problem for Windows users and most people don’t want to waste their valuable time because of this. There are many reasons why your Windows startup has become slow. These might be the reasons:

1. You have too many installed software in your system that make your registry full of entries. Therefore, you registry full of the unused software entries. Just keep software that you always use and uninstalled other software. Clean your registry using registry cleaning tool, or you could defrag your registry.

2. Fonts will be loaded on startup and it’ll also makes your computer boot slower. Go to your fonts folder on Windows and copy it to a new partition or burn it on a CD and delete the fonts that you don’t usually use.

3. Check you tray icons and see if you have too many software loaded at startup. If you have too many software, try typing in ‘msconfig’ in start>-run and uncheck every software that you don’t need to load during startup such as Quicktime, Real Player or Yahoo Messenger.

4. In Vista, there are two reasons why its boot-time takes longer. The first one is indexing system and the second is the System Restore. But, please be careful when disabling System Restore and indexing system if you don’t need them.

5. You don’t defrag your system. Maybe you always defrag your system, but not using Power Defragmenter. Power Defragmenter is a freeware and you can download it to defrag your system to make it faster.

5. Too many malicious software on your system. Install, update and run the tools required for malicious software removal.

Did you know that you can get into safe mode without pressing the F8? You can actually. However, I only know how to do this in Windows XP.

This can be applied if you have a problem with your keyboard and you cannot press the F8 during the BIOS screen. You can do this using the ‘msconfig’. Just go to start->run and type ‘msconfig’ and you will see the System Configuration Utility

If you want to reduce your startup time, click the startup tab and choose the programs that you want to run during startup and click apply. It will ask you to restart. Choose restart and when you’ve restarted the computer, it will ask you to configure the ‘msconfig’ again. Select ‘Don’t ask this question again’.

That’s if you want to reduce your startup time. If you want to enter the safe mode without pressing the F8, just run the System Configuration Utility again and this time click the BOOT.INI tab

Choose /SAFEBOOT and click ok. When you restart your computer, it will restart in safe mode without pressing the F8. To return to normal boot, just run the msconfig again and deselect the /SAFEBOOT by clicking the box again.
