Start....Run.....msconfig
Then uncheck the programs you don't need at startup.
OK
If this is a laptop be careful....some driver software might get stopped
But trial and error should get your machine to boot faster.
Another effective but drastic way is to format C: and do a fresh
install (Best option)

- First, wipe out
C>Windows>Prefetch (OR) Start>Run> %systemroot%\prefetch
(Hope U know what it is & needs 2/3 boot-ups to take the effect)
- Then check and if needed "defrag" your main drive & if possible the "Registry" too
- Then as said, stop all "services" which are not necessary esp. that of VIRUS SCANNERS that do a boot-up scan.
- Then in BIOS Settings, disable all other boot-up devices expect your "Master" (HDD)
This is the saftest way to do it though ter's are few more "Registry" tweaks which i dont recommend.
U can try/use "Tune-Up Utilities" for defraging the "Main Drive" & "Registry" & getting rid of other junk. Its the safest one for starters

better still. as soon as windows 7 releases dump XP and switch over to it. Windows 7 has much faster bootup speed
