High Disk and CPU Usage for 10 Minutes After Boot Solution

In Vista there is a new service called superfetch which analyzes program you use most often and remembers code to make it work faster next time. In all reality it doesnt improve performance much if at all.

When this service is running it can cause constant (and annoying) disk and cpu usage for the first 10 minutes or so of vista loading.

if you disable this service, it stops all this access from occurring. I have disabled it on my dell xps m1730 which runs vista business, and my system still boots just as quick, but without all the disk and cpu usage afterwards.

here is how to disable the service:

1) in the start menu search box type (without quotation marks) "services.msc" and hit enter

2) scroll down the list that appeared until you see a service named "Superfetch"

3) Double Click on the Superfetch Service and a dialog box will appear, in the 'Startup type' drop-down list in the centre of the dialog box, change from automatic to disabled.

4) click OK

5) right click on the Superfetch Service and left click stop.

6) click cross in the top right corner

you are all done,

next time you boot windows, superfetch will not start and you should have very minimal disk and cpu usage as it should be!
