From time to time, you will notice
your Vista logon became slower and slower until almost
freeze! Because you installed too many start up programs,
such as the anti virus, anti spyware, dictionary, memory
optimizer, skype, messenger and other gadgets...You know you
should minimize the start up programs, but there are just
too many to keep, what should you do?
There are 2 ways to solve this problem:
Method #1 - You do not activate them until you need it. Go
to Windows menu, type "msconfig" then enter to activate
System Configuration, select "Startup" tab and uncheck as
many programs as possible. However, the fact is you need
most of them, and they are there for some reasons!
Method #2 - Lower the priority of start up programs
Use the command below:
C:\Windows\System32\ cmd. exe /c start "title" /MIN {/LOW|/BELOWNORMAL|/NORMAL|/ABOVENORMAL|/HIGH|/
REALTIME} /AFFINITY {1,2,4,8 or Add Up} "directory\program.
exe" program_parameters
You need to find HKEYLOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,
add the command above in front of existing programs, so
every time the program will start at a lower priority to
avoid recursive waiting and deadlock between each start up
programs, hence smoothen the logon process.
If you want faster logon, you should also enable auto logon.
You can do that by typing "netplwiz" on Windows menu,
uncheck box on the "Users must enter a user name...", you
also need to provide a password for auto logon.
After this, your logon time should cut down 30% or more,
please allow 2 to 3 restarts for best result.
