PC Tamer's Tips

Speed up the launching of programs

Run REGEDIT.EXE

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ VxD \ BIOS.

In the rightmost pane, create a new DWORD value and label it: "CPUPriority" (without quotes).

Double-click the newly created setting, switch its format to Decimal, then enter "1" (without quotes) as a value.

Upon reboot, this tweak should speed up the launching of programs.

NOTE: your mileage may vary.
