Refrain Command Prompt from Disappearing

Windows basically execute run commands from within command prompt.
Every time you execute a command from windows run dialogue box
the command prompt just disappears. This method has it’s own
advantage & disadvantage.

But, sometime we need to see the command output in command prompt window. But run dialouge box just don’t allow us to do so.

Say, You have executed a command like chkdsk, ipconfig or systeminfo into run
dialogue box. But after executing this command the command prompt
will just quit without showing you any result.

But if you need to see the output of that command that you give in
run dialogue box you have to refrain command prompt from disappearing.
So, Here is the trick for Refrain Command Prompt from Disappearing
Just add cmd /k before you type in any command into run dialogue box.
For eg :
cmd /k ipconfig
cmd /k systeminfo
cmd /k chkdsk 

Boot Defragment

                                       A very important new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This basically means that all boot files are placed next to each other on the disk drive to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled but some upgrade users have reported that it isn't on their setup.

    Start Regedit. 
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft   \Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
    Select Enable from the list on the right.
    Right on it and select Modify.
    Change the value to Y to enable and N to disable.
    Reboot your computer.
