this is 2 years old and this wont work in modern systems.. its already obsolete .. windows 8 is at beta testing and this is an xp explanation.. your probably still trying to figure out vista
i dont get the point. xp and seven boot very fast, only reason to make a video like this is for the unfortunate vista users who dont know how to install os's and replace vista.
Man I tried to fix my two sisters computers, but theirs is XP and that gpedit will not work on xp. I guess it only works on windows vista and windows 7.
Wow, ur a dumbass. WindowsPRfetch!!! If you didnt know prefetch is a file sotred with some junk that windows cleans out. But using a script is way faster thus makes your computer faster. get your facts straight dumbass
Well actually when I made this vid I didnt really fully know wut I was doing. but after thinking Del Windowsprefetch is fine. I think they are using the scripts delete win prefetch instead of Windows's way of deleting it.
Prefetch is a file which stores some stuff u want to delete :P Windows does it for you but here there is a shutdown script to do it. It is aster than Windows's way.
yes its meant to clear out all files starting with tosboot- . in the windowsprefetch tosboot folder. Not that doing this would realistically gain any speed boost.
I'm curious as to what exactly this does besides make your PC boot faster. I suppose a better question would be: How does this make your PC boot faster?
So the trick is 1) to delete the prefetch boot information at every shutdown and 2) to disable IDE auto detection for positions where no IDE drive is installed?
Comments:
I. What's the relation between prefetching and IDE auto detection?
II. Why not just disable (boot) prefetching all together, so you won't have to delete a bunch of files at every shutdown?
III. You're missing three backslash signs (\). The batch command ought to be: "del c:\windows\prefetch\tosboot-*.* /q"
See if this helps. Windows uses the "\" to separate directories:
C:\Program Files\Some Game\Game.exe
On any other system (Unix, Mac OS, FreeBSD, online) this is done with "/":
/usr/share/games/some_game/game.bin
The directory "/" is your root directory; like the parent directory where everything else is stored. You can think of it as C:\ in Windows, except that there is no A:\ D:\ or E:\, everything is just mounted somewhere on the filesystem.
In those systems, the "\" character is instead used (when in a shell like Bash) to represent an escape character, like in most programming languages. So, for example if I foolishly named the game's directory "some same" instead of "some_game", I can still CD to it but I have to tell the shell that I actually mean to use a space character:
thats pretty kewl im testing it in a virtual machine before so i make sure i do it right =) and what video recording software do you use because its awesome in Quality =) heres my comment i just rated 5 starts and hey guess what i hit Subscribe LOL =)
I dont see you knowing anything about computers you retard. And yes some people want improvement. So just stfu dude. and wtf does math have to do with computers.
Why would you say that maths has nothing to do with computers? Computers are based around maths, and therefore when you're going to college with a major in a computing field you'll have to do a lot of maths
the only channels i got is primary and secondary channel on the secondary channel on the secondary channel device 0 & 1have the automatic detection button none of them are greyed out
hey on the secondary channel all of the auto detection button is not greyed device 0 is not greyed and device 1 is not greyed what will i do? please reply please

N00b, if this made your computer boot up time 200% faster that would be the same as 3 x faster.
50% faster would be 1.5 x faster
100% would be 2 x faster
200% would be 3 times faster

Well by deleting prefetch files you probably won't gain much speed unless there are a lot of programs you got rid of recently.
The IDE fix seems sort of irrelivent as you could be using a SCSI or SATA drive (which use different settings).

Of course, this is the same as using quotes,
