When I go to Run and type cmd, it takes about 7-8 seconds for the command prompt to appear.
I have a Core i5 with 3GB of RAM running Windows 7 x86.
I really need the command prompt to run instantly because I use a lot of scripts to improve productivity. When the command prompt itself takes 7 seconds to load, the whole point is lost.
Does anyone have ideas as to what might be causing these delays?
1If your goal is efficiency, why not pin the command prompt to the taskbar and start it with
Win
+Number
hotkeys or a single mouse click? – Der Hochstapler – 2012-07-28T13:58:06.683As @OliverSalzburg suggested you is the best way but still we need little bit more information as this happens only when you launch the 'cmd' through Run command or the same problem when you launch it from the start menu? – avirk – 2012-07-28T14:04:16.033
thank you for the answers. My issue is that cmd takes a long time to load, whether i load it through Run, or even by double clicking on cmd.exe or even if i execute any batch file. are there any monitoring tools i can use to check what's going on under the hood when cmd loads? – Nandun – 2012-07-30T14:37:17.793
