OK, here is what you can do:.
1. Log on under your own account.
2. Click Start/Run/notepad{OK}
3. Launch msconfig.exe via the Start/Run menu.
4. Click the Services tab.
5. Hide all Microsoft services.
6. Identify the services that are irrelevant for your wife.
Example: "Remote Packet Capture".
7. Remove the tick mark for the "Remote Packet Capture" service.
8. Switch to your notepad session and type this command:
Net start "Remote Packet Capture"
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for the remaining irrelevant services.
10. Click the Startup tab in MSConfig.
11. Identify the tasks that are irrelevant for your wife.
Example: realsched
12. Remove the tick mark in front of "realsched".
13. Manually copy the whole line for "realsched" into your notepad,
e.g. like so:
"c:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
It's best to arrange the msconfig frame just above the notepad frame
in order to avoid typing errors.
14. Repeat Steps 12 to 13 for the remaining irrelevant tasks.
15. Switch to your notepad session.
16. Make the first line like so:
@echo off
17. Click File/Save As.
18. Type this name (with the double quotes!) but do NOT press Enter:
"%userprofile\Start menu\Programs\Startup\Startup.bat"
19. Select "All Files" in the "Save as type" box, then press Enter.
20. Create a backup copy of this file.
21. Close msconfig.exe, reboot and log on under your wife's name.
22. Click the msconfig box that will prevent the notification from
coming up next time.
You now have a selective boot environment. You get all services
and tasks at start time but your wife gets only the selected minimum set.

Thanx Pegasus,
We both already have different accounts, but the she doesn't require most
of
the software like Adobe's Acrobat, Photoshop, Audition etc. that are
installed and take time to boot up at start!
Would you kindly let me know HOW to create an account which would simply
"only and only" load Windows and MS-Office?
Thanx again!

Me and my wife use a single machine. However, I am quite always in need
of
numerous software, but installing them all causes quite a slow speed
and
time-consuming launch of the system itself, which sure does drives my
wife
mad!
If I install an additional operating system (probably a former
different
windows version) for her would it cater the need and have a clean
registry?
or both the operating systems would be possessing the same pace and
speed,
although all the software would it be installed while using a single
operating system?
Thanx in advance!

Whether the registry is "clean" or otherwise makes no difference at all
to
the speed of your machine, even though the registry cleaner merchants try
to
convince you otherwise. What matters in the startup process is two
things:
- The startup services you launch, and
- The startup tasks you invoke.
While installing two versions of Windows might speed up your wife's
version
of Windows, a far simpler but equally effective method would be to use a
tool such as msconfig.exe to disable all unwanted services and tasks. You
could then place a batch file into your own Startup folder. It would
perform
two tasks:
- Start the services you previously disabled, and
- Launch the startup tasks you disabled.
This modification is based on Philo's suggestion of using two different
profiles and would require around ten minutes to implement.
