I have noticed that my computer (running Windows XP) is becoming much slower
to start up. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?
 
You can type msconfig and disable those programs you think you are not using.
Run also defrag. That shall speed up your system
 
Good hard drive health care. Defrag the hard drive with some sort of
regularity (depends on how you use it), scan frequently for spyware with
such programs and AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Microsoft
Antispyware beta. Keep viruses off of the computer. See:
http://aumha.org/articles.htm for heaps of good ideas.

Did both. The computer is running fine, it is the internet that has
slowed down on the xp system.

Defraged just a few days ago. Did all the rest too, as noted. It is not
the computer that is slow, it is the Internet connection with xp that is
slow. 98se is twice as fast and I have no idea why.

How do you get back to a clean no-network set up so I can start fresh?

Sorry, got the subject lines mixed up. My problem is in another thread-
oops.
