There is a Startup Delay value in the Registry Editor that, when decreased, will make your XP start up faster.
To to this go to Start > Run and type regedit to open up the Registry Editor.
Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex and look for an entry named StartupDelay. Change the default value of 4800000 to 40000 and reboot for the changes to take effect.

By the way, if you look at the top right corner of my blog, there is a search box which might help you if you can’t find something.
NONSENSE!
The registry setting “StartupDelay” controls the delay before the indexing service begins scanning. It’s purpose is to delay indexing until bootup is complete. The default of 8 minutes will usually accomplish this. Changing this to 40 seconds as suggested may allow indexing to begin before bootup is complete, thus SLOWING the process.
Of course if indexing is disabled the setting will do nothing.

@ Larry
Thanks for pointing it out. I don’t have the time to check every tip that gets posted on the blog so sometimes these kinds of things slip in.
I added a short note above the post to warn readers.
Thanks again,
Eerik
