Re: Slow boot

Gerry-

I put together a nice, cleaned-up response to your last post, deleting all
old and unnecessary stuff. I tried to send it but it was too large and was
rejected.

I think I'm taking up too much time and space on this forum.

I also believe the slow boot is because drive c is so fragmented and the
drive head has to travel to so many cylinders to pick up each file to be
loaded on boot. Defrag, if ever done well, should resolve the issue.

Interesting thing, however, In Recycler\Nprotect there are hundreds of
strange and old files, small but large in number. RECYCLER has the NPROTECT
directory with 900 files or more, and also 5 strangely named folders,
protected, that start with S and date back several years.

I created one new S...... folder just now with today's time and date on it
by making a restore point. Perhaps the others are lost and could or should
have been deleted automatically. The files, by the way, are not ASCII files
so when you open them with any reader you get the standard binary garbage
text readers present from binary files.

As for event viewer, it's overwhelming to try to get through it. Where are
those files stored and can I delete them?

Thanks,

DAW
