Is There Anyway To Make Winxp Start Faster? - booting up so long...

bakuryu
Service tweaks do reduce the startup time. However remember to defragment the drive where Windows is installed often (at least once a week).

Also without using bootvis you can perform the exact similar tasks :

1. Start -> Run type : defrag c: -b
Assuming Windows XP to be installed in drive C.

Then again Start->Run type : rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

This process run's in background (no visible window), but look for the hard disk activity led .... takes some time to complete.

On Topic: If your Windows is really that slow you probually have a virus or some other form of malware. Next time you log in i reccomend you update your virus scanner and then do an ixtensive virus scan.
