Ever wanted to know how much time does your computer take to boot? well this is a very easy tutorial explaning one way to find an answer to your question

1- Open Notepad

2- Copy & paste the following code in notepad

Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next

Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff

MsgA = "Please close all running applications and click on OK."

KeyA = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RestartTime\"

KeyB = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RestartTime"

AppName = "Reboot Time Test"

Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

PathFile = """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """"

Result = wsh.RegRead(KeyA & "Times")

if Result = "" then

MsgResult = Msgbox (MsgA, vbOKCancel, AppName)

If MsgResult = vbcancel then WScript.Quit

Wsh.RegWrite KeyA & "Times", left(Time,8 ), "REG_SZ"

Wsh.RegWrite KeyB, PathFile, "REG_SZ"

Wsh.Run "cmd /c Shutdown -r -t 00", false, 0

4- In the Save as type choose All Files (Very Important !!)

5- Double-click on the file, you will be asked to save and close all your work because your computer is about to restart. Click Ok to restart

6- When windows starts again a message with the number of seconds your computer took to boot will be displayed on your desktop.

Ah, this is an useful little script that offers great standardization. BTW, noticed that we're running shy at posting our reboot time. Mine returned 61 seconds which I know is not such a great boot time, but considering the rig is over-loaded, guess life will carry on.
