Gain 3 seconds in Windows XP restart


Recommended Posts

If you you select no sound for "Exit Windows"

in Control PanelSound and audio propertiesSounds

Windows won't wait for the Exit Windows sound to play and will restart faster

:cool:

turn off sounds completely to get a noticeable performance boost

all those MS wavs were cute and cool back in the 95/98 days but most power users dont wanna be bothered with a sound everytime they do something

About the startup sound: Windows keeps playing the startup sound while it loads, theoretically only taking away a few CPU cycles from the startup. The exit sound is the last thing Windows does, so it has to finish playing before Windows actually shuts down.
