Windows XP Boot Log-- Where is it?

[Dale W.]

Windows 98 used to have a bootlog that recorded bootup items. Is
there a similar log for XP and where is it? I am having some issues
with my system booting up after removing the IE 7 beta 2. I had to do
a system restore back to the day I installed it to fix problems with
Internet Security from Symantec and deinstall/reinstall Internet
Security. I want to see where it is slowing up, if there are any
failures to load modules etc.

XP does not, by default, log its boot sequence.

It's called ntbtlog.txt and worthless for boot problems.
