Good news (I think)!
My boot time shrank (shrunk?) in half from 592 seconds to 257 seconds!

I tested EVERYTHING requested in the thread above ('cept format).
I wrote a batch script to constantly delete the prefetch files.
I disabled almost all the startup items.
I "optimized" all boot files (using bootvis to defrag boot files).
I used msconfig to uncheck the dumprep & ctfmon commands.
(One problem is msconfig seems to come up with every single boot.)

Is 257 seconds for a windows xp clean boot a reasonable boot time?
See my latest traceboot graph from bootvis.

Is 257 seconds reasonable?
Or should I continue to delete stuff & try things?

MSConfig will display a notification of a change the next time you boot after
a change is made. Just check the box to not show the window again and it
will not be displayed the next time you boot, unless you change something
else in MSConfig.
 
Rubbish.

And then the rest of us can run the same Win95 installation from 1995
until the hardware dies, or the present day.

It's absolute bollocks to suggest that Windows "needs" to be destroyed
and rebuilt at any time, unless something specific has messed things
up. Don't take your inability to effectively set up and maintain
systems as a "new darkness" standard.
