Red Button is a small freeware utility which lets you set up a large number of optimisation options for your Windows installation and activate them with one click on the ‘button’. The settings cover a number of things ranging from boot up speed to registry optimisation.
Tick the boxes (but beware on some settings which cannot be undone!) for the options you want, and then click the button and everything is done at once in a matter of seconds.
