I have a comment about Speed
up system restart:
Note: if you have trouble saving your edited MSDOS.SYS file, the following instructions
may help. First, find the MSDOS.SYS file, either by opening an Internet Explorer
window and typing C:\ into the Address window, or by using Windows Explorer or Start
> Find (or Start > Search, as applicable). In any case, once you find it, right-click
it and select Properties, then un-check the box next to Read-only and then click
OK. Now edit the file by double-clicking it and if a "Open with" window appears,
select "Notepad", making sure the box next to "Always use this program..." is left
UN-checked! Next, close the window and a box will appear asking if you want to save
the changes. Select Yes.
Now, just to be safe, go back to the icon for the MSDOS.SYS file and right-click
it again and select Properties, then put the checkmark back in the box next to Read-only.
This will prevent any accidental changes in the future.
