Free speed up boot time software for windows

Windows Boot timer is a useful boot timer utility Windows Boot timer is a useful boot timer utility. Simply double click on the executable & upon restart, it will display the time taken by your computer to load windows.
It does not take into effect the time taken to go through BIOS or BIOS bootup password. It takes the time from the instant BIOS starts loading Windows.

BootTimer 1.0.4 has the ability of copying itself to a temp folder on the system drive, thus it let you run this from anywhere. This modifies the Boot.ini (makes backup then restores on reboot) And UserInit loading. Use at your own risk.

A Higher Boot Score typically means faster overall boot (its not based on 1-100). Boot score may need some work but in testing with various fixed results it worked out well. Highest possible boot score is 250 but I doubt anyone will ever get that.

Results Explained: All times are calculated from the same Start Time; the Start Time being the time the boot log is created, which is right when drivers and services are loaded/started.

• Boot time is time it takes drivers and services to load (similar to the BootVis timing);
• Desktop is the time it takes to display my app (seems to be the same from one PC to the next);
  
• Userinit waits for userinit.exe to exit.

Userinit deals with login, network connections. Score is based on the Boot time and Userinit.

A logon and boot screens manager for Windows LogonUI Boot RandomizerIts a Logon and Boot screens manager for WinXP (based on an idea by M. Deepak)
Program is designed to interact as little as possible with the user. If you set randomizing to main (base) folder (see How it works), every time you download a new boot/screen folder and put it where you want, there is no need to run the program again. It will include the new screen automatically. Also, if you exclude a category (folder) from randomize (see A Note for Exclude), in order to exclude screens from randomize them, when you download a new one and put it there, there is no need to run the program and update the exclude with the new screen. Program it will excluded automatically.
Main features:
- Changes the Logon and Boot screens in WinXP. Full support for SP1 and SP2 (I mean that you can use any version for boot screen and program will make it compatible with your system).
- Randomize (3 methods) the Logon and Boot screens. In order to randomize there is NO need to load the program to tray or something like that. If you set randomizing the program will run the appropriate time, randomize the logon/boot screen and then close.
- Full support for zip files. After downloading a screen (the zip file), just put it in any subfolder under the base folder. Program will handle it as a normal screen/folder.
- EXCLUDE some folders (screens) from randomize them (see A Note for Exclude).
- For boot screens, you can set or randomize them with 2 methods: 1) classic (using the exe file you download) or 2) using 3 bitmaps (existing or by extracting them from the exe file on fly and use them). All methods support all known features. Program always remember the position of progress bar.
- Support for extracting boot and/or logon screens directly from zip files. Program can automatically detect the type of screen and extract it to the right folder with out user input.
- Preview (classic or with THUMBNAILS) the Logon and Boot screens, if the new logon/boot screen comes with a .jpg or .bmp file. If not, there is a feature that you can browse and see all the bitmaps in the file. Also you can SAVE that bitmaps in jpg/gif/tiff/png/bmp format. With one click, you can save bitmap 100 (for logon screens) or bitmap 1 (for boot screens), which usually are the bitmaps with the basic picture. Also, support for MULTIPLE extract and save in jpg/gif/tiff/png/bmp format (very helpful for users that have a lot of screens with out a preview picture).
In order to load pictures faster at THUMBNAILS preview, program after detect NEW zip files, will prompt you to search the zip files for pictures. After searching, will extract the picture (if any) and save it to disk under the name " .zip.jpg". The real format of the picture can be jpg/gif/tiff/png/bmp but after extraction the extension ALWAYS be .jpg
