I am unaware of your perspective, but I surely enjoy spending the initial ten minutes of each workday gazing Windows start up.

But if you wish to overcome this hassle, the tips given below will help you to start Windows much faster and quickly.

Firstly, reduce the load on your slow Windows Vista.

Generally, a PC loads several programs at the time of start.

Icons in the system tray of your PC represent an auto-start application.

And there are several other programs that auto-start every time your machine starts but hide their presence.

It is noteworthy that an autoloading program slows your PCs boot time, with the only difference that some affect it a little while others affect it heavily. And since majority of them continue running in background, they reduce the systems performance.

Ensure that you can reverse the changes before beginning with the elimination work of autoloaders. After creating the restore point, Click Close.

If you use Windows Vista, then you should select Start, Control Panel, System. Click System Protection under Tasks, which in on windows right side. Then you will see the System Properties dialog box on your screen, from which you have to select Create at the bottom of the window.

For XP users, the process involves selecting Start, Run, typing msconfig, and pressing Enter. Vista users should select Start, write msconfig in the Search box and then press [Enter].

As you click on the Startup tab, a list of autoloading programs will be displayed. Each program will show a check box. You click on uncheck an item and the program will not be loaded at the start up.

Pick your Autoloading Apps. Select the applications you need to leave checked so that they continue to autoload.

First and the most important thing is that you would never want your PC to run without the protetion of firewall, antivirus and other security programs.

Although these programs slowdown the speed of your computer and even cause conflicts, they could lead to high cost if blocked from running while using the system.

Apply your own wisdom for any other program in the list. The question is not regarding a program being good or bad, its about if it is required to be on all time.

Following unchecking of those programs that you dont want to autoload at the start up, click the OK option and reboot the system. In case of Windows, the loading will be done with a wordy message which appear like an error message.

Simply check Dont show this message or open the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts at the bottom of the dialogue box and then click OK. The wording is a bit different in Vista.
