jayse is more or less correct – the cool bits of bootvis were built into xp. ts handy for one time diagnosis etc, but its not a magic fix-all.. youre better off doinglike jayse recommends, defrag your hard disk, and clean some of the crap off it! so many people have so much junk on their pc that they dont need, or, does a job that another program does already.. :)

Bootvis is a waste of time and space Because XP already dose these tasks itself, on average it dose it every 3 days. Bootvis was made for developers to help tune thier software.
I’ve tried it myself and it makes no difference, a good defrag will speed things up more than this tool.

Max the tool was developed by Microsoft itself and should be safe to use. It optimises file placement on hard drive for files that are needed during boot up as far as I know.

Is this program safe to use? And what exactly does it do? How does it boot XP faster? Does it turn off some of the startup programs or what?
