Boot Defragment your hard drive for faster loading of Operating System

The boot defragment option is a very unique function available in Windows XP. This function places all the files required for booting up of the operating system next to each other such that they are easily accessible.

Since the files are placed in close proximity to each other they are found by the computer rather easily and in very less time. Thus the operating system loads itself faster than normal. By default this option is enabled when we install windows, but then when we install certain software’s they disable this option.

In order to enable following steps are to be followed :

1) Open run function from START menu.

2) Type regedit and press enter.

3) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction

4) Double click on Enable from the list available on the right hand side.



5) Change the value of this string to Y (i.e. Yes) to enable this function and N (i.e. No) to disable it.

6) Reboot your computer and you are done.

The booting process becomes faster than the previous time.
