Make Windows Me Start Up Faster----


To cut the time it takes to start up Windows Me, go to Start/Settings/Control Panel. Double-click System, then click the Performance tab. Press the File System button and select the Floppy Disk tab. Finally, uncheck the Search For New Floppy Disk..." box. Now your system won't automatically search for floppies in your disk drive when you turn it on. Note that this will not preclude the use of an emergency recovery disk. For whatever reason, someone at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea for your system to double check for floppies just in case you popped one in after the BIOS had done it's duty, but before Windows started. Disabling this search in Windows Me has no effect on your BIOS. Even if it did, you could always go into your CMOS setup during a reboot and reset it.
