What is your ReBoot Time?

I ran the .vbs file which can be found in the following link when you "Download" the .Zip file

Its pretty cool. It tells you exactly how long it takes your computer to Reboot

Just for your reference here is the code in Restart-Time.vbs

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 = "Restart-Time"

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

else

Wsh.RegDelete KeyA & "Times"

Wsh.RegDelete KeyA

Wsh.RegDelete KeyB

TimeDiff = DateDiff("s",Result,left(Time,8))

MsgBox "Your computer restarts in " & TimeDiff & " seconds", VbInformation, AppName

end if

wscript.Quit

Here is the source.

My restart time is 45 seconds. Not too bad I think. :)

56 seconds ( Win7 Ultimate x64 ).

The BIOS takes 7 seconds...awfully slow...sad.gif

51 secs FWIW (WinXP)

58 seconds with Desktop PC and XP.

Interesting.

Nice post ishan.

58 secs although this is IDE and a rather old P4 with well a used copy of XP Pro SP2 :)

VirtualBox + XP Pro SP2 - 71 secs

VMware Player + XP Pro SP2 - 89 secs
