BootRacer calculates Windows boot time easily and with a simple interface.
The main screen contains three options which are Start, Advanced and Exit.
If you do not want to use the advanced options, simply start the test by
just clicking on the Start button. When you click it, you will be asked to
restart your PC to check your boot time. You can simply say yes or restart
at a later time. When the PC boots up next time, you will be able to see
its boot time details using BootRacer's program log. After analyzing the
log, you may remove some programs from the startup options to speed up the
boot time and then recheck the boot up time with this tool. The advanced
section has the options to control the tool and use it exactly as you want.
Like, you can allow or disallow the tool to write log to events log, change
the settings when the tool should check the boot time, etc. Portable
version: extract the msi installer with Universal Extractor to the location
of your choice. When you run the program as portable, it placec
bootracer.ini and bootracer.log in users/public/documents folder. Size:
6.6MB. Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7. 32/64bit.

This can also be used for the purpose of seeing what is starting and if
malware is present besides what affects your boot time.

This method doesn't actually work as you must install it for it to monitor
the boot process. Installed it works fine.
 
BootRacer

I've shitcanned BootRacer. While it does time your bootup, that's all it
does. You can't get any individual detail about each individual startup
program and if you click the link to try, it takes you to a pay download
but doesn't advise you it is pay until you install it.
