One of the main reasons why your Windows takes so long to boot when you switch it is due to the number of programs that run at system startup and this is the place for you to identify and disable them. In Windows operating systems, certain Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs are initiated during startup. Often, users will need to modify the startup process to stop the loading of some TSR programs. A Windows utility program, the System Configuration Utility (msconfig), is provided with each operating system installation. This utility will enable the user to modify the Windows startup process and the programs initiated during this process.
