Speed up your boot time by enabling a Boot Defrag. Enabling Boot Defrag places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. This should be enabled by default, however it can be changed inadvertently by various software or other means. If you experience a slow boot, you should definitely check to make sure that your Boot Defrag is enabled.

To Enable or Disable the Boot Defrag, do the following:

When I go into my registry editor it is already set as shown in your instructions. However under optimization complete it says no and tells me that registry files are missing. Due to a virus intrusion which slipped by my no longer used Norton Anti Virus, I had to use the disk supplied w/my Gateway computer to redo the system. Is there any way to retrieve or reinstall these files. Thankyou, Jim 6164.
