Make Windows XP bootup faster with a quick registry tweak. The StartupDelay Controls the time delay after a system startup before Indexing Service. This tweak does not disable anything, it just removes the unnecessary wait time.

Notes from video:
Navigate and expand in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
Change the Decimal value of the Startupdelay key to 40000 and restart the PC. You should notice a bootup that takes less time.

  • Not really, but ...

    Not really, but each PC can be affected differently depending on its configuration also. So a good value that works for most people is what I suggested, you can go lower, and if you see you have problems change it back.

    You can also delete the value "Contentindex". You only can do this when you're NOT using the index-service.
    Works much faster! :)
