For a better performance is general and a fast boot you need to disable Winxp services that you don't need, i don't remember website in english but i will try to find out what services can you stop to get a better performance.

To make your computer (with windows xp) start faster do one or all of the following things:
- Delete from time to time all files in the Prefect directory (located in the Windows directory)
- Defragment your harddisk once in a while.
- Turn of System Restore.
- Disable the new visual styles and use that ugly grey one from previous windows.

These are not all for making windows start up faster, but also to make it run faster. You could also try to update your BIOS (I think it's called flashing?) if you do not have the latest version already. But note: don't hold me responsible for any problems whatsoever .

The links provided here looks pretty good. I am just going to check all the information provided here. Let's hope my system can be faster. There is also a tool called Tweak UI that can improve some things also. Sorry i have forgotten the link for it . Please google it.

Hi ,

I am not sure , but I think I can help you.

Click on Start>Run , enter "msconfig" , then go to "startup tab" and uncheck all items you don't want to start with windows.

That was help me several times , and make computer faster.

hey everyone.

fillipc... good stuff. that's what i did to my computer after my dad told me it helped heaps. also another thing to do is in msconfig click on the services tab and, same thing, disable all the stuff you don't need. it helps heaps, but you need to be REALLY REALLY careful. and whatever you do DONT disable the services marked essential. THIS WILL KILL YOUR COMPUTER.

anyway, apart from that, this should speed up your computer a fair bit!

yeah but when i do that it always get these little popups i clicked disable all and rebooted and took longer than if everything was selected. am i doing something wrong here?
