Does your Windows rig takes a lot of time to boot? (If unsure, use BootTimer to measure your XP’s boot time.) Well, a company has developed a piece of remedy called Soluto.

Soluto wants to remove the frustration from computing. You can also enable a Frustration Detection mode that will analyze your machine at any given time and it will tell you what is wrong.

To begin we will visit their website and download the application. You can do so from this link here.

Click the big green download button and install the application.

After the installation is done, Soluto will ask you to reboot the machine, or you can chose to reboot manually later.

Next Soluto will analyze the applications in your startup list. It will then categorize them on the next screen.

After about 5 minutes Soluto returned with a chart of my boot process. It showed me that my boot time is a little more than a minute and a half. It loads 53 items during this time. The 53 applications were categorized as no-brainer, potentially removable and required.

To improve Windows boot time, I ran through each of the No-brainers and delayed the ones I knew I might need at some time and pausing the ones I knew I would not use again.

I got my applications to down to 31, and cut the boot time by a decent 27 seconds.

Conclusion

Other than the start up applications, many other factors may also affect your Boot time. For those, I recommend you use registry cleaners and some free apps.

How do you cope with your startup time? Do you have a favorite application that helps you tame your applications? Mac and Linux users, do you have issues related to this?
