MSCONFIG using tips !!!

MSCONFIG
[Vista tips]
* Hold down "start" and press "R" to initiate a run command. Now, type "msconfig" and press enter; provide a positive response to security and elevation prompts. Check "No GUI boot". This will disable the glowing vista logo that shows after post, shaving 2 - 5 seconds. Also, check your services tab and start up tab. Use Google to look up process names if you are unsure, but crap like Adobe "anything", Google "anything", HP or Compaq connections, HP Update, HP Advisor, any other PC manufacturer specific items, welcome center, and windows media player or media center stuff, etc. can obviously be disabled if you don't need it to start with the computer (i.e. if you have a TV tuner and record TV on a schedule, like a TiVo, using WMC). This won't disable the program(s); just keep it from starting with Windows. Now, go to tools and select "disable UAC"; hit launch > apply > ok. If something requires elevation, like a CMD prompt, you have to right click it and select run as admin, since windows no longer will prompt for elevation (this will be taken care of later in the guide). This doesn't make you "admin" over everything, but just stops asking you every four seconds if you are sure what you are doing.... trust me, it will get in the way for the rest of this. After you restart, select "run blocked program" > system config from the annoying prompt. Check the box "do not run sys or start...", and hit ok.
