Hi,

Check your startup folder and msconfig/startup and rid of unnecessary
programs not really needed during the boot process. Other than that, run
both these:

Windows XP Startup Programs Tracker

Bootvis is a Boot performance trace visualization tool for use with Windows
XP systems. It gives a graphical view of what processes are doing what and
when during boot and allow you to optimize your boot up. To download go to:
