Step 1
# Modify your Windows performance settings. This will make your Windows perform faster because you will take out vast memory usage allocated to visual effects. Right click on the My Computer Icon and select Properties. Select Advance Tab and click Settings. Now you will adjust the visual effects. Leave the following options checked: Show translucent selection rectangle, Use a background image for each folder type, Use common task in folders, Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop and Use visual styles on Windows buttons. Leave the rest of the options unchecked.

Step 2
# Modify registry settings for desktop delay. This will make your system faster since it will remove the delay time for showing Windows content. To begin, type on the Run command, "regedit." When you are on the registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANNEL\DESKTOP. Look for the word "MenuShowDelay" and double click on it! Change its default value into "5". That's it for the desktop registry settings.

Step 3
# Modify registry settings for start-up delay. This will again make your windows startup faster by minimizing the delay time for the start-up delay of your windows XP. To begin, type again on the Run command, "regedit." When you are on the registry, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\CONTENTINDEX." Next, look for the name "StartupDelay" and change its base to "Decimal" and its default value data to 40000. Close all opened applications and restart your computer.
