Re: Why are my statups/shutdowns so slow?

mines takes about 35 secs onmy main rig.

Get rid of the fancy desktops and skins, if you're using XP remove all the xp prettyness and run it in oldschool windows dress.

remove sounds and only load programs that you really need on startup, i.e firewall, anti virus etc

should speed it up a bit.

Do a seach for xp tweeks/tweaks on google, theres planty to play about with.
