Here's a great way to speed up the boot time of Windows 7 on your computer on a dual-core or multi-core processor.
  1. Press Win + R to open "Run" dialog window.
  2. Type MSConfig into the text box in the run window".
  3. Click on the Boot tab.
  4. Select your Windows 7 OS installation from the list of operating systems (if you are dual-booting a system this is really important).
  5. Click the "Advanced" button.
  6. Check the "Number of Processors" box, and then select the largest number in the list. (i.e. This will be 2 if you have a dual-core CPU)
  7. Click OK on the dialog boxes until they all close.
  8. Restart computer.
Let me know how it turns out!

You may not notice a difference. It didn't seem to make a difference on the boot window, but I swear the desktop loads a little faster... but I'm not sure if it was caused by this tweak.

I have a lot of programs that start automatically so it takes a while to get everything going.
