Start Windows Faster
1. A lot of programs put small pieces set to automatically load every time you load Windows. You can remove these programs from your Start Menu, which will allow Windows to start faster. Click Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/ Maintenance Wizard. Click "no" until you get to a listing of your "StartUp" group. Remove everything.
Tip: Office and Outlook appear to be unaffected when "Office Startup" is removed.
2. Window 98 has a setting to check for removable floppy drives, which is set to on by default. If you dont have any removable floppies, you can uncheck this for faster bootup.
Go to the System applet in Control Panel, click Performance, File System, Floppy Disk and uncheck it.
