Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Faster boots combining hibernate and restart

« on: February 05, 2010, 10:58 AM »

megablue: interesting idea, but not really doable IMHO. Too many things that can go out of sync between memory and disk, the registry being just one part. It could possibly be done, but it'd be insanely complex, and not something I'd trust a 3rd party to do.

Now, if you were willing to discard all filesystem changes after boot, it might be feasible - but then it wouldn't be very useful either

I knew it is hard archive. However we seen software like DeepFreeze, Sandboxie... I think some of the concepts can be applied on the idea. Still I'm not insane enough to not realize it is a crazy idea and way too ambitious ...

I had thought of similar idea before.

My idea was
Creating a "hibernation point" which allows your PC to start from previous state every single time.
Rather than, restarts then enters hibernation mode (anyway, the pros is easier to archive) .

Maybe you can explore into it...
There are a few technical issues to address:
1. how to force windows to start from hibernation point every single time.
2. how to address the changes of values in registry and loaded files.
