Have you tried a good defrag (third party app, not Window's) and Bootvis? MS no longer distributes it, but it is readily available and works great with XP:

Yes thanks. But really the goal is not necessarily a fast bootup, but I was using bootup as a test to see how fast my system was as a whole. Since its an easily definable timeframe and comparison to others.

I'll take a look at that program, but I really have no problems waiting that extra minute or two anyway.....

I use Opera mainly. But i do make sure to use FF, Chrome, IE8 and Safari at least once a week for a while, if not a whole day. Right now i bounce between FF and Opera almost hourly.
