4. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 98/XP' message on startup can
delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go
to c:\ and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option.
Next, open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the
text 'Options' within the file and make the following changes: Add
BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster, set add Logo=0
to remove the Windows logo at startup.

double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets
the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.
