Disable unneeded devices in Device Manager !!!

There are many ways to improve the boot speed in Windows XP, one quick way is to disable any unused devices in the Windows XP device manager. For example, if you do not use a floppy drive on your system or you have an extra unused network card, then disabling these items may make sense.

Note: If you don't know what it is or you are unsure of something, just leave it alone.

To perform this task:
Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
From the Hardware tab, select Device Manager.
Expand the various categories to locate unused devices.
Right click the devices and select Disable.
