REMOVE JUNK FILES before Shutting down

By removing junk- the windows registry and system won’t have to load them up on reboot.
Use a Junk temp Cleaner like CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/, window washer, etc (see software forum for more)
to remove junk from your system before you shutdown.

"I found that creating a script to run on shutdown that deletes the temp folder and history shaved 2.5 seconds on my boot time, down to 1.5 secs.
Create a batch file by doing the following:
1) Open notepad and enter the following lines:
RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName without quotes"\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "D:\Temp\" <--"Deletes temp folder, type in the location of your temp folder" 2) Save the file and then rename is something like deltemp.bat 3) Now click Start, Run and type in gpedit.msc --->Computer Configuration --->Windows Settings --->Scripts and double click on Shutdown
--->Click Add and find the batch file you created and press ok to set the script"
