Go to run and then type in msconfig and
press enter. Then click on Selective Startup, then uncheck the box that says
load startup items.
Then go to the tab that says services and then click on hide all microsoft services then uncheck every thing that appears in the list after you hide the microsoft
services.
Then after that, if you want even more speed.

If you are using a wireless connection, this tip may stop it from working so if you run into this problem,
go into your msconfig and check everything that has the word wireless in it.
All msconfig changes can easially be undone by opening the msconfig window, then selecting
"Normal startup".
