HOW TO DECREASE SHUTDOWN/RESTART TIME ON WINDOWS

Windows XP takes a long time to shut down, and then to start up – and hence, many users use the Hibernate option so that they do not have to wait 3-4 minutes for their computer to start up. Those of you (with tablet PCs) who like using the Hibernate option might have faced the problem where your tablet PC takes an unnaturally long time (say somewhere around 10-15 minutes) to go into hibernation. This can be extremely frustrating at times as this beats the entire point of using the Hibernate option.

• Click on start > run, then type compmgmt.msc and press enter.
• Click on Services and Application.
• Now, the right hand panel will have three options – Services, WMI Control, and Indexing Service. Double-click on Services.
• Scroll down the list to locate Routing and Remote Access, and double-click on it.
• In the dialog that shows up, select Disabled from the dropdown list under the Startup typeheading.
• Click on OK.
• Exit the Services applet.
• Set command to delete ARP cache at 5-minute duration.
• Open a command prompt with administrator privileges. [You can do this by logging in to your system as an administrator, and going to Start -> Run, and entering cmd.]
• At the prompt, enter the following commands:    

SCHTASKS /CREATE /SC MINUTE /MO 5 /TN ARPFLUSH /TR
C:\WINNT\system32\netsh\interface\ip\delete\arpcache

• Exit the command prompt.

After this, your computer will delete the ARP cache every five minutes and you will not face the “ARP cache will not clear” error message again.
