There is a paradox going on in computer world. There are a lot of fast computers that actually start in a very long time. The explanations for this could be numerous. For once, there are a lot of startup items that run together with Windows, some of them being completely useless. On the other hand, there are a lot of registry settings that are not correctly optimized for a fast system startup. The BIOS configuration can also have an impact over the performance of the system startup. For all these problems, Startup Booster is the solution.

You can guess what the program is all about by looking at its name. It's a software that can tweak system settings in order to increase startup performance and make the computer start in less time. It's a Windows application that was designed for Windows 7 but can also work in older versions.

The program's functionality is based on certain steps, each one of them addressing a different area of the system. The first step displays a list of programs that run together with Windows. The user can check, using Google, if a certain program can be disabled or not and if so, it can be easily removed from the startup list. The second step of Startup Booster includes some registry tweaks that are normally inaccessible to the user.

The third step of the program allows cleaning the registry and removing all the obsolete keys that remain in the registry after removing programs or after deleting files. Cleaning the registry can improve not only startup speed, but also the overall performance of the system. The forth and final step tells the user what settings should he make in the system BIOS, in order to make the operating system start faster. These options can be printed so the user can make the necessary modifications at next system restart.

Pros

It can improve startup speed by offering some different optimization types. Besides that, it can clean the registry, thus increasing overall system performance, not just the performance of the startup. Furthermore, it allows printing certain instructions related to BIOS settings.

Cons

Beginners may have trouble making the required BIOS changes, especially if they have never accessed the BIOS. Startup Booster is a tool for improving the performance of the operating system startup and the overall system performance.
