Slash your windows boot time

It doesn't cover everything. If you wanted something to do that i'd suggest Autoruns (SysInternals). And then using google to work out what they do.

You need to keep in mind the intended audience for something like this.

If you're knowledgeable enough to use SysInternals Autoruns  :-* effectively, you're not the sort of user who needs (or will be likely to want to use) something like Soluto.  ;D

Not only on the boot time but the cpu usage when your computer's running.-jamiemac2005 (November 15, 2010, 10:59 AM)

Shouldn't make that much difference on CPU usage, as most services are going to be idle most of the time - but it can definitely make a difference wrt. memory consumption.

Services especially, i had a svchost that was running about 80% cpu between boot and actual computer use.-jamiemac2005 (November 15, 2010, 10:59 AM)

Indexing service? :)

Or some Java-based app checking and doing updates after creating a restore point?

jamiemac2005:
Hey, haha. It was a mixture of the indexing service and a few other updating programs.

On the contrary i think that if you have the knowledge to use Autoruns it becomes a brilliant tool for the deeper stuff but for services/startup applications soluto gives you the information you need quickly.

cranioscopical:
Can somebody help me with this, please?

I installed Soluto to take a look at it.
I don't want it and so uninstalled it and now have remaining the following items.
Can I delete this stuff without unpleasant consequences?
