I posted a question a few weeks ago about my laptop taking 6 minutes to
start
up.
A few people told me that it should be 1 minute instead.
When I time the start-up, I don't stop the time when I see the desktop
(which is pretty quick) but when the hard drive light stop to be always on
(meaning that startup programs have finished to load). So for people who
have
a start-up time of 1 minute, did you time it like I did?
Then I followed the advices given on my post, I removed the maximum of
startup items (items that I don't use every day) in msconfig and the
start-up
time became 5 minutes. It was not good enough so I decided to uninstall
ZoneAlarm (Firewall Protection) and use Windows Firewall instead. The
start-up time is now 3 minutes 45 seconds (measured with the hard drive
light
turned off like described above). Is it good enough now?
