My computer boots up too slowly...where do I go to
eliminate start up files? In Windows 95 and ME it was so
easy..but with XP i cannot find the startup directory.
Can anyone help me?

Thank you,

(1) Click START to RUN and type: msconfig
(2) Select the STARTUP tab
(3) Uncheck the file that pertained to the startup error message you
received
(4) Click APPLY and OK
(5) Reboot your system

If this fails to fix the startup error message after reboot, there are still
options:

(1) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(2) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(3) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(4) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(5) Reboot your system

You can easily go to "Start" -> "Run" and type
in "msconfig"

Then click on the "Startup" tab and simply check off the
programs that you don't want to load.

It can also help if you go to the "Services" tab and check
off "Hide all Microsoft Services" then uncheck all the
services that are shown.
