A method for fast activating a computer function options by loading
program image files is provided, including a data storage pre-installed
with at least a program image file. When the user operates an option
button, the computer loads and executes the program image file associated
with the option button after the basic booting process of the operating
system. This activates the multimedia device corresponding to the pressed
option button. In the preferred embodiment, the data storage also stores
a program image file index in addition to the program image files. The
program file index stores the starting addresses and file size of all the
program image files.
