Experiment: Faster Windows startup

My laptop took about 5 minutes 22 seconds to fully startup before doing any optimization.

After taking the following steps:

• Stop automatic startup for unused programs by disabling the auto start from the programs themself.
• Elinimate some programs from Start>All Programs>StartUp. Result: 4 minutes 22 seconds
• Ajust screen appearance by going to Desktop>Right click>Properties>Setting>Color qualities>16 bits.
• Avoid visual effects in Start>Control Panel>Performances and Maintanence>System>Advance>Performances>Setting> Select best performances. Result: 4 minutes 9 seconds
• Download and run Autorun to deselect some programs on logon. Result: 3 minutes 55 seconds

There is an improvement of 1 minute 27 seconds.
