My Windows XP computer is suffering from slow boot times, and although I use the free Quick Startup utility to enable only the programs I want, I still need to know which programs take the longest time to startup, slowing down my entire boot time.

Any profiling app available that lets me see how long each program takes to startup?

Windows Boot Analyzer

Boot Log XP is that you search for troubleshooting Windows boot-up problems in Windows XP.

Boot Log XP creates the new boot log file and allows you to view it visually.

Note: this isn't free.

All that's great, but I tried out the demo and it does not show you which program takes how long to startup visually. – Jenko Jul 27 '09 at 12:09
Awh well, glad the other one did work ;-) – Ivo Flipse Jul 27 '09 at 12:16
