there's a very good program available, it's called 'a search robot'. Google for something like 'windows xp speed up boot' (or do a search on the forums), a lot of guides are available on the net and they usualy do tell you the same:
1) use msconfig to stop useless applications from starting up
2) stop useless services from starting
3) defrag your hdd
...
and a lot more tweaks

Wutske mentioned some of the very important aspects in improving your computers operating systems performance which are typing msconfig in the run prompt window and uncheck the start up or background programs from running during start up which will improve the start up speed for your computer. The next improtant thing to do to improve your computer would be to right click your c drive and do a diskcleap and check the stuff that deals with temporary cache and so on. And last but not least and also the most important aspect to improve your computers performance would be to defragment your computer. This will organize the data on your hardrive which is generally scattered on your hardrive during program installations. This defragment will organize the areas into the right sections and improve the paths so that your computer can communicate more effeciently.

Buy and insert more ram. It can only go so fast. One thing I found, you shouldn't yet, is that the fans work, replacing the broken inside fan halved my start up times and shutdown is about 10x faster.

Just run an older version of windows. Windows 2000 starts up on my box in about 15 seconds. XP takes 30+. Vista...well, Vista sucks.

My recommendation would be to learn to interpret the output of autoruns (Sysinternals utility) and learn how to get rid of unwanted registry-based startup items (msconfig isn't as powerful as autoruns).

If you want something a little more painless than autoruns, use hijackthis combined with one of the online hijackthis logfile analyzers. They'll tell you what everything is.

The other issue that can cause long startup delays is BHOs because they get loaded into memory along with the windows shell, not just IE.

It's even better if you print out the detailed specifications of your machine using CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com) and posting it here. It'll help us understand your machine and help you to find the root problem that is killing system resource on your machine.

Something that is worth noting is that you can't take a computer of a certain power, install newer and newer OS's, and expect similar results to previous versions. They release new versions of windows to implement new technologies that (as one would imagine) take more powerful systems to run. This also leads to more things needing to be tested, checked, set up, loaded, and run upon booting a system which all leads to a greater system boot time.

Basically what I'm saying is, even on a freshly installed perfectly defragmented system, you'll always have a certain amount of time that the system takes to boot regardless of what you do. Past this installing lighter operating systems is really the only option if it is that important to you.
