My personal view is that the attention many people pay to how long it takes
to boot is unwarranted. Assuming that the computer's speed is otherwise
satisfactory, it may not be worth worrying about. Most people start their
computers once a day or even less frequently. In the overall scheme of
things, even a few minutes to start up isn't very important. Personally I
power on my computer when I get up in the morning, then go get my coffee.
When I come back, it's done booting. I don't know how long it took to boot
and I don't care.
However, if you want to address this anyway, it may be because of what
programs start automatically when you boot. On each program you don't want
to start automatically, check its Options to see if it has the choice not to
start. Many can easily and best be stopped that way. If that doesn't work,
run MSCONFIG from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the
programs you don't want to start automatically.
