BootRacer 3.0

Reviewing 2.0 Beta (Sep 29, 2009)

This has been available for quite a long time in VBS format without a GUI.
Now, if this program had a way of tracing the boot FILES and the time it takes to load them, then rearrange the files in the Prefetch or be able to cache them faster, then this program would be of some use.

As of now, the GUI is the only difference from what's been around for years.

Here's the code for the VBS file. Copy and paste it into a new Text document, save as (whatever file name) .VBS (making sure to change the file format to All Files)

Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff
MsgA = "Please close all running applications and click on OK."
KeyA = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RestartTime\"
KeyB = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RestartTime"
AppName = "Restart-Time"
Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
PathFile = """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """"
Result = wsh.RegRead(KeyA & "Times")
if Result = "" then
MsgResult = Msgbox (MsgA, vbOKCancel, AppName)
If MsgResult = vbcancel then WScript.Quit
Wsh.RegWrite KeyA & "Times", left(Time,8), "REG_SZ"
Wsh.RegWrite KeyB, PathFile, "REG_SZ"
Wsh.Run "cmd /c Shutdown -r -t 00", false, 0
else
Wsh.RegDelete KeyA & "Times"
Wsh.RegDelete KeyA
Wsh.RegDelete KeyB
TimeDiff = DateDiff("s",Result,left(Time,8))
MsgBox "Your computer restarts in " & TimeDiff & " seconds", VbInformation, AppName
end if
wscript.Quit

Then, simply run it - it will restart your computer and tell you how fast it boots up.

Sorry Greatis Software - this is **pointless** without the ability to actually FIX the boot time problems!
