Creating Windows XP Boot State?

Hello:

I use 6 User Accounts on my system, each of which use AOL v9.0 under a
different
screen name. Additionally, I have a primary account on which I load all of
my programs, such as word processing, Internet Explorer, et al.

I want to know: "How can I create an image/memory dump/saveable memory state
which I can select at Windows XP startup that will enable me to get up and
running at the point where I want it?" The purpose of this is to save time -
roughly 10-15 minutes to switch to all User Accounts / load the AOL software
and run my programs.

The "Hibernation" feature of XP is NOT what I am referring to nor what I
need in
this case. I need something that can be started whenever I load my system;
whether due to installing a new program or unaccounted for system error
reboot/shut-down.

If I understand your question correctly, what you want is an image of
your hard drive. Use third-party imaging software like TrueImage,
Ghost, or BootIT NG.

I don't belive that was what he meant,

He wants to be able to switch users without having to wait for
startup\shutdown proceedures, to have certain programs launched already when
user logs in. If you are switching users try pressing "windows key" + L for a
faster switch.

And there are programs out there to speed that up, to unload user hive
faster etc.unfortunately I forget what they are called (check out MS
powertoys, MS downloads)
