Perhaps you should put your energy at solving that rather than to reduce the impact by shortening the load time? I agree with the other poster - integrate the startup of Emacs with the general system boot process, then don't shut Emacs down. (But I'm not entirely as cool as he because I have to "mount" my my computer physically each time I use it at my school... To have an "always on" system would be so cool - you know the `uptime' command, solely there so you can brag how long your system was running like a Swiss watch.) But back to Windows, a couple of years back, I actually deluded myself that I could work in Windows, "I just need a shell emulator, and Emacs", and I believed that, right until the moment that I tried it. Emacs on Windows is *not* the same. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me! CV below) computer projects: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 internet activity: http://home.student.uu.se/embe8573
