I can’t believe you are advising people to use hibernate! No wonder your machines take so long to start!

I love all the great advice from retards on the net.

I like this, I don’t use it for emergencies, rater I have rss feeds that that Out Look pulls for me. When I get up in the morning all I have to do is sit down and they are loaded and ready. I don’t know about you people but when I wake up I’m usually half dead, power button screw that a $3000.00 machine should be waiting for me.
As for Hibernation slowing down your machine, he use this to run Reg cleaning and regular reboots on a schedule. Starting a computer takes more power than hibernation anyway.

Thanks for the automatic startup tip it works great. This gets all of my office computers up and running just before I need them. This helps me simplify my morning right along with my wonderful automatic coffee maker.

So I put a little common sense up here and you take it off. Typical ignorant dolts.

If you really want to cut down the time your computer boots up, check out this application:

And what kind of “emergency” would I need immediate access to a computer for? This is a complete joke. Press the power button like everyone else. About as worthless as an automatic coffee pot.
Another thing, go ahead and hibernate your computer instead of shutting it down. Do that every day and let me know how long it lasts until it’s so damn sluggish you cannot use it anymore.

My Vista computer takes about 40 seconds to boot up from a shutdown. If you have a dual more processor go to Run> msconfig> boot tab> advanced options> check the number of processors box and set the number. It will then tell you to reboot, it is perfectly safe and does no harm to your system.

So I can’t set this up as a task unless I have a start-up log-on password?
