SPEEDING UP YOUR STARTUP        

    

Whenever you boot your computer, Windows 98 automatically scans your

hardware to see if a new floppy disk drive has been added since the

last time it ran. If you know for sure that you're not going to be

adding a new floppy drive any time soon, you can disable this action

and save yourself a second or two of boot time.

 

To disable the search for a new floppy drive, right-click on My

Computer and choose Properties. Click the Performance tab and then

click File System. Click the Floppy Disk tab and uncheck the box that

says Search For New Floppy Disk Drives Each Time Your Computer Starts.

Click OK twice to exit.
