Faster Windows restarts
An interesting piece of advice here from codejacked.com, hold down the shift key when clicking on the restart option in Windows to restart Windows not the computer. This can save as much as 30 seconds depending on the various bits of hardware detection that the computer goes through.
This is called a warm boot rather than a cold boot. My problem is that I will probably waste at least 30 seconds before the restart trying to remember the key combination but still worth using when installing software and updates.
