Prefetch Applications to make them load quicker
If you have lots of RAM like I do then you can prefetch a number of
applications by using the /prefetch:1 switch. This will load the application
into your RAM for MUCH faster startup times. Be careful on how many programs you
do this with because it'll eat up your RAM if you do it too much.
Right click on any shortcut you want to speed up and select properties. Look
in the Target. At the very end of this add /prefetch:1 to it. Below is a picture
for reference.
This will NOT work with all applications. I haven't quite
narrowed it down yet, but I believe it works on anything installed using an
installer like Microsoft's own windows installer application.
