Additionaly, sometimes computer opens after 22 bars pass. Some days 15
bars, some days 17 bars... It differs day by day although config and
programs are the same.
That difference seems minimal (tho overall it's pretty long; under 10 is
definately a goal to shoot for). The diff you're seeing could very well
be nothing more than network setup delays and restart/boot-up one-time
chores (typical after an install w/ reboot required).
First off, are you letting the background "boot optimize defrag" take
place? It should run once every couple of days, processing the info in
the \windows\prefetch folder and "optimizing" the disk layout for the
startup and most-frequently-used applications. Inspect the prefetch
folder, by date, and look to see if the layout.ini file has a recent date
- it should. If not make sure the Task Scheduler Service is running -
without it it will never run. Also, the machine needs to go idle to allow
time for it to run - if you turn-on, work, shutdown then it won't get a
chance to run. You can run it manually via this command:
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks
It this will process the \prefetch, make a new layout.ini, and kick off
the defrag (if the reg allows it). The whole thing should take about 1
minute. If the reg disallows the defrag you can force that manaually too,
with this command:
defrag -b c: (or whatever drive letter).

The other thing to do to speed up boot is make sure only necessary
Services are starting Automatically (use services.msc), and that no
unneccessary startup tasks are initiated (I like Startup Control Panel by
Mike Lin, there are other startup managers too).
the Black Viper site has info about services, there are lots of places to
check whether a startup item is really necessary (just use google to
search on the item's name). Many startup items are really unnecsssary,
and they often crowd the tray with icons you never even use.
good luck.
