Tim Though I can't find the forum now, I was looking for a BootVis alternative and found that pressing "Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks" in the Start- Run box rearranges boot files for faster boot times, similar to BootVis. The wmiadap.exe is the process that pops up in Task Manager when you run this command.
