Typr 'msconfig' in Start>Run. It will show you a list of programs which startup when you start the pc. Disable those that you dont need. This will give you some improvement in boot times.

Thats it

Ya in Msconfig disable all start up files.Very essential ones will autocheck themselves when u reboot.I think only 3 of them needs to run in background.If u found any suspicious Service note their name and check for thier authenticity in web (just google em).Other services like adobe loader, office loader,real media . divx etc are unneccesary and slows down startup.

Check out pal.

That you will have to decide depending upon the software you have installed in your pc. Visit *netsquirrel.com/msconfig/ for more on msconfig.

Have you bRoadband connection. If yes then this seems to be as when your system starts it ineract with your modem to get IP. when it get IP it runs smoother.

It'll be better if u provide the screenshot of the startup tab of msconfig, so that we can tell u which items shoud be checked and which not.
