Who is not frustrated with the windows startup and shutdown lagtime ! Everyone wants the system to boot quick,reboot quick & shutdown quick.This program does two of them. Its actually two programs, namely -- SUPERFAST SHUTDOWN and SUPERFAST REBOOT. And does it really do what it says or is it a gimmick ! ABSOLUTELY,it does both of them in a flash, indeed fast-nope!SUPERFAST INDEED. So far i have not seen any program which does shutdown and reboot within 10 seconds. This is a must have for any PC.
