Tip: Start ArchiCAD faster on Windows (WIBU settings)

It is taking only 8 seconds between ArchiCAD launch and the appearance of the Start dialog for me as a result of this tip ... compared to an agonizing 45 seconds without it.

If you are a Windows user, take a look at this updated tip on ArchiCADWiki:

Your mileage will of course differ. I have one known port conflict and some issues with my network, so restricting the scan to only my USB port really made a difference. Feel free to post some before/after times in this thread... 😉
