Some people just love devoting ten minutes every day at work to watch Windows starting up.

But if you wish to overcome this hassle, the tips given below will help you to start Windows much faster and quickly.

First thing, reduce the load from your slow Windows Vista.

Every time it starts, the system loads numerous programs.

For instance all the icons displayed at the bottom of screen, near the clock of your computer are auto-start programs.

Besides these, there may be many more programs on your PC that are autostart but don’t reveal their presence.

The boot up time of your machine is slowed down - a bit or a lot - by each autoloading application. And since majority of them continue running in background, they reduce the systems performance.

Ensure that you can reverse the changes before beginning with the elimination work of autoloaders. Once the restore point is created, click Close.

If you have Vista, then click on Start, Control Panel and System. Click System Protection under Tasks, which in on windows right side. Then click Create at windows bottom in the System Property Box that appears.

For MS XP users, the process involves selecting Start, Run, typing msconfig, and pressing Enter. If your system is running Vista, then press Start button, type msconfig in the Search box and press Enter.

Then click the Startup tab, which will list all autoloading applications on your system, having a check box each. You click on uncheck an item and the program will not be loaded at the start up.

Pick your Autoloading Apps. That is the programs you should leave checked in order to allow them to autoload.

First and the most important thing is that you would never want your PC to run without the protetion of firewall, antivirus and other security programs.

Although these programs slowdown the speed of your computer and even cause conflicts, they could lead to high cost if blocked from running while using the system.

Apply your own wisdom for any other program in the list. To ask yourself whether the program is a good program or not would not be wise enough. Instead, you should think if the program needs to be on always.

After identifying and unchecking the programs that are not required to autoload at the systems startup, you have to click OK and reboot the system. You will notice Windows loading with an extremely lengthy message box appear to be an error message.

Check the box displaying Dont show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts, and then click OK. However, the wording will be different in case of Vista.
