Windows XP TWEAK - Faster Boot-UP

Make Windows XP bootup faster with a quick registry tweak.

I created a quick and easy video tutorial on how to do this tweak.


Notes from video:
Navigate and expand in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl Set\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.
