Notes client StartupFaster=1?
Category
Bookmark :
There are a lot of complaints about the startup time of the Lotus Notes 8.x Standard Client. Today I found this comment in the Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum:
Reg key as supplied to me by IBM - idea being to pre-cache code during boot, to allow Notes client to start faster. Your mileage my vary, I haven't seen a huge improvement but every little helps:-
As per IBM:
The way I would expect it to be used would be to add it to the Run area in the registry:
Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
New string value:
Name - PreloaderNotes
Data - fully qualified path to the exe "C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\nntspreld.exe"
I certainly see improved startup time on my own laptop, but will test it tomorrow at a client where starting Notes currently takes approximately 2 minutes.

I just checked and the executable is indeed only available in Notes 8.5.
Sorry for getting your hopes up....

I set the Registry key, rebooted, waited for XP to reach a steady state, then loaded Notes. I repeated the reboot process five times. The average was 3 seconds to the password prompt then 20 seconds to my Home Page.
I removed the Registry key and repeated the experiment five times, and got the same 3 seconds to the password prompt but an average of 18 seconds to my Home Page.
This is beta code and may not be what is finally delivered, but I wouldn't use this as a standard yet.
