JSI Tip 0129 - Speed up that first 16-bit Process on your WinNT Server.

The 16-bit sub-systems on your Windows NT Server do not start automatically, causing a delay in the startup of the first 16-bit Windows or Command line application started. You can start the 16-bit sub-system automatically by editing:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon

Double click on Userinit and add ,win.com wowexec to the end of the string.

You will need to reboot for this change to take effect.
