Increase Windows XP boot time

The StartupDelay Controls the time delay after a system startup before Indexing Service. This tweak does not disable anything, it just removes the unnecessary wait time.

Notes from video:
Navigate and expand in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ ContentIndex.

Change the Decimal value of the Startupdelay key to 40000 and restart the PC. You should notice a bootup that takes less time.
