Most computers boot up slowly because too many applications are trying to startup when windows does. This can easily be changed by selecting only certain important programs to start.
Click Start and Run.
Either type in 'msconfig' and select OK, then select the Startup tab.
Or download Crap Cleaner and use its 'Startup' cleaner tool (better).
Now disable programs that you do not want to startup on boot up.
You should not disable your antivirus, firewall and spyware remover.
Ctfmon should not be disabled as it is used by Microsoft Word.
Now press OK and select Restart in the next dialog box.
After restarting select the checkbox in the dialog box and click OK.
