Serious suggestion: Start the computer, get a cup of coffee and then sit
down to work.

Also use Start> Run> MSCONFIG> Startup to see what kind of things have been
added to startup in the last year. Disable any items that are not necessary
everyday - do this through menus in the main program or by unchecking the
program's box in MSCONFIG.

Also, I find when my system starts getting a little sluggish at startup -
running defrag periodically improves performance.
