With FoxPro for Windows, the majority of its startup time is used to
search directories and the MS-DOS path for FoxPro files. This article
lists suggestions for decreasing startup time.
NOTE: Because network installations of FoxPro for Windows copy just
the necessary files to local drives, there are no specific network
tips; the tips in this article work for both network and stand-alone
machines running FoxPro.
To decrease startup time:
C:\FOXPROW\FOXPROW.EXE -CC:\TEST\CONFIG.FPW SET FOXPROWCFG = C:\TEST\CONFIG.FPW
