This “tip” Boot XP Faster, is beyond belief. Unlike the majority who read this, I actually understand what it does. Steps 1-5 create a script that deletes the “NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf” file on computer shutdown. This file is designed by Microsoft to enable optimum boot performance. How anyone could believe that deleting this file would improve boot time is baffling. It could only come from someone with a very twisted understanding of how prefetch works. Be very sure, doing this will not improve boot time, it will degrade it – possibly seriously. Steps 6-10 will remove a short delay in bootup, probably not noticeable.
These 11 steps can be found on many web sites, usually with the exact wording. Obviously the original author had no understanding of how prefetch works. If it actually worked, why did Microsoft not implement it? Does the author believe he understands the system better than Microsoft?
