Slow Windows XP startup

Hey guys.

I've recently just purchased a new PC, but it takes longer than expected to start up. It takes approxiamately 52 seconds to boot into Windows from the moment I switch my PC on.

Here are my specs:

P4 2.8GHZ 800FSB
Gigabyte i875PE Motherboard
512MB DDR 400 RAM
120GB Maxtor 7,200rpm Hard Drive with 8mb cache
Geforce FX5900

Any help would be dearly appreciated.

Thanks

Oh .. ok. Thanks guys.

It's just that it started up faster before. Maybe it's because I have other programs loaded now.
Thanks

Check your Startup folder and delete any apps you don't actually need to load on boot. Check the Run section of your registry, too.
