Speed up XP boot

[Steve]

Anyone know how to speed up the booting process on XP? I
have removed everything from the startup tab in
Start>>Run>>ipconfig>> start up tab. That helped but
isn't there another way to make it boot faster?

Thanks in advance??

How fast is fast? Thirty-seconds might be expected, if no USB or SCSI
devices need to be detected. And if start up programs are kept in check.

How fast is 'faster'? Please time your booting process and let us know.
