I've been using those hacks for ever, and they do make a big diff;
if you use XP SP1 or above, and your "clearpagefileatshutodown" value is 0, then your pagefile is NOT being cleared; if the value is 1, then it WILL be cleared, and your pc will take longer to shut down.
I'll be glad to explain the others in detail also, but they are pretty obvious as to what they do;
try setting the menu show delay to 100 or so, and it wont flash through quite as fast
