I’ve got a system here that has been getting progressively longer boot times
after first install when new
38 seconds to desktop
now over 5 minutes to desktop
I looked at prefetch and found a files for uninstalled programs
and the layout.ini file is full of references to non-existent locations
ie.
K:\Windows\…
K:\Program Files\…
K:\Documents and Settings\…
etc.
this is absolutely retarded
I’ve never had the OS / Programs /boot Disk as anything but C:\
from what I’ve read elsewhere,
deleting or attempting to clean the layout.in file will cause more problems
and once it’s recreated it will be full of the same crap anyway
anyone have any ideas what to do about this?
besides the 60+ hours to do a complete reinstall and reconfigure
this is a production system and can’t be down more than a few hours
