I tried the screen BarontheFirst posted:

Looked gret until the windows personal settings screen, THEN my pc REBOOTED!!

I had to boot into SAFE made to undo the screen.

Whats up with that?

BTW, I was using the Stardock program to do it.

I'm using XP Pro too.

Using the system's "Hibernate" functionality would speed up boot time significantly (it writes memory to a disk file and then shuts off).  After re-activation it simply reload the disk file into active memory and voila, you're off and running again.  My little laptop goes from hibernated to fully running in about 12 seconds (timed on wall clock).  You can also change the hibernating/resuming screens to support some custom images.  I saw this on one of the example cabs, I can't remember which unfortunately.

I have Xp Pro however I used the bootskin program. It doesn't change anything that might stop your pc from booting. From what I understand Stardock changes something and XP doesn't like it! Stardock probably works fine in Win 95/98. So I say try again with bootskin!

Turn off fast user switching, and setup an automatic login for a user.  This will skip the Fisher Price welcome screens and take you straight into WinXP.
