The OS is composed of several executables and DLLs that must each run and
initialize. During that process the system is checked for integrity. The OS
loads device drivers and services needed for each state of boot, and those
services and drivers are nearly all contained in the System32 folder.
Overall the system loads many megabytes from the time you move "Off" to
"On". You "activated" because you have a system with Windows on it and all
that stuff in "system32" is Windows. How can you stop it? ... go back to
DOS.
Having come from the glory days of computers where an IPL could take hours
and involve changing many many tapes, be thankful it only takes 4 minutes.
Oh ... for the children on the block, IPL stands for Initial Program Load.
