How often do you reboot your computer?

Slow Windows starting is not due to Windows. Many programs (ie Adobe Reader) load all kinds of preliminary programs when you first boot the machine. Therefore the program (ie Reader) appears to load faster when you click on it. Meanwhile you might blame Windows for taking so long.

I have forgotten the command. But you can view a list of all programs that must load when Windows first starts. Then remove many of them so that Windows boots faster.

Or simply Hibernate. Hibernate is a complete power down so that programs need not reload when you restart the machine. So that Windows can reboot much faster.
