Faster booting in Windows XP

I'd like to increase the speed of my bootup in WinXP. I've heard that there's some sort of a tool from Microsoft available for this, but I was unable to find it.

Any suggestions/links?

plenderj, That doc is apparently for OEMs.
Is there anything there that's useful to the end-user folks like us?

:confused:

It will work.... it uses ACPI, nothing about oem software or anything of the sorts... unless I missed that.

But why is there any need to do this? My XP Pro starts up and I log in and everything is finished loading in about 15-20 seconds :D
