   My Computer Boots up in 2 or 3 seconds
   because I use the suspend to ram feature
   (called sleep or s3)

   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!

   Not really a useful program, as anyone who can tell the time can time how long their computer takes to boot. A better program would of been to also monitor how long each program etc. takes to load up during boot, and to measure other items to see how long they take (whatever those are :) )
   That way one could see why their system takes x amount of time to boot up.

   From power on until my HD stops spinning, is 33 seconds, this program keeps counting for minutes later. The computer had been sitting idle for a long time. I ended up having to endtask it twice. Still has a lot of bugs there. It is also pretty pointless.

   i do not see an option that it can improve your boottime, it only tells if it is fast enough...but..it is usefull, do we need it..i think that peepz that using pc are allready aware if their pc is taking to much time to boot or not, maybe some of you find it handy so i am just waiting for those review comments.
