how to speed up xp

1.Click on Start, then Run, and type "msconfig". Wait for a new window to pop up.

2.Look under the "BOOT.INI" tab. You will see a box labeled "Timeout:", and a numerical value.
By default, it's 30, which means 30 seconds of wait time before boot. This can be changed,
make it 4 seconds. (Note: if you have more than one operating system, this means the wait
time to startup to the highlighted Operating System is longer. Sometimes you might want a
bit more than 4 seconds, then you can opt 5 or 10 seconds)

3.Delete The Temporary Files Periodically From Your Computer
To Make The Applications Run Faster. Type %temp% in the run
dialog box by clicking on Start -> Run, and click on "OK".
You will see an open folder with many files. Click on the Edit
menu and click on Select all and then click on the File menu and
select Delete. Note: Alwaysconfirm that the folder which is opened
has the word "temp" on the top of the menu bar and the folder
indicates that it is a temporary folder.

4.Always Perform a Disk Defragmentation at least once a month.
Start the disk defragmentation from the System Tools menu available
in the Accessories menu from the Start menu. It takes a longer time
and it is advised not to run any applications in the
computer including the screen savers, while running disk defragmentation.
