I made some changes on my system, and I learned all of it here at Wilders. (Thanks) :)
Here is what I did:
1. Turned off system restore on all partitions. (I use a disk-image tool)
2. Turned off what I believe is called indexing service on English OS. (I have non-English OS)
3. Changed some settings in Controlpanel-System-Advanced-Visual effects See picture. As default I think all of them were checked:
192375
192376
4. Turned off Windows sound
5. Disabled running services. See Black Vipers Page:

I changed all to the same as under safe column except 4 of them which I think I perhaps may need. Smart Card, uninteruptible power supply, wireless zero configuration and I disabled system restore. (Also had already disabled system restore before)
As I understand my system now is safer because of disabling some running services. But I also read before that all these steps would make Windows faster, and I can confirm it did.
Before these steps it took 40-45 seconds to start my Windows. (I count seconds from I click my user account until my desktop show up)
It now takes from a few seconds up to 17 seconds to login. The second reboot after this steps it took 4, I repeat 4 seconds! But usually longer. Today 13 seconds.
Shutdown is much faster than before.
