No thats always the last option, theres always something to do if not then defragment but not this time this is just about removing some progs in Start up

Try to remove some gadget-progs you never use.
Maybe try a registry defragging tool.

What? Defragmenting helps keep your comp run fast, it needs to be done regurarly. Same goes for registrycleaning and registry defragging. I agree that this thread is about the startmenu though.

Have you done the usual spybot adaware scans? just to be safe

I use CodeStuff Starter to manage my startup items

Firstly do an antivirus scan with the latest Defintions! Then i'd scan using Lavasoft Ad-Aware, dragment your harddrives (it will slightly increase boot speed). Then if your boot speed is still slow check out what programs are listed in your startup folder --> Start --> All Programs --> Startup. If you have programs in there that you don't want starting delete their shortcut! Then i'd use msconfig to remove everything else you don't want starting

Try deleting some things, running Virus scans and Syware scans and generally cleaning up ur computer. Remove programs you don't need.

Also go:

Start > Run >  type: msconfig and go to the 'StartUp' tab, and untick anyhting on there that you don't need running when you start up your computer.

Hopefully this will help you get a speedier startup.

msconfig stands for Microsoft System Configuration Tool.  You can shoose what services, programs and drivers to boot.  But be carefull you don't turn off a driver or system resources you don't you need that will mess up your machine BUT you can choose Startup tab and uncheck almost all the prgrams from stopping from booting.

BE CAREFULL NOT TO TURN OFF ANYTHING THAT WILL MESS US UR MACHINE

in other words, don't touch anything you don't know!

it might be a good idea for you to post a HijackThis log for us to have a look at would be easier for us to help then....

(download HijackThis then "Do a system scan and save a logfile" then save the logfile somewhere, then post the logfile text! easy
