Source: O'Reilly Media
This chapter download from the Windows XP Cookbook, published by O'Reilly Media, Inc. shows you to control system properties in Microsoft Windows XP during startup and shutdown.
In normal operation, the Microsoft Windows XP system properties initiated at startup or during shutdown are hidden and best left to their own devices. However, there are times when you will want to control these system properties for operations like setting local time on startup, changing the system name, starting in a clean boot, automatically shutting down unnecessary background applications, and/or creating power consumption schemes. This download chapter, System Properties, Startup, and Shutdown, from the book Windows XP Cookbook, shows you how to control Windows XP system properties during both the startup process and the shutdown process. By exercising control over these properties you can manipulate the operating system to better fit your objectives.
