Check out Black Viper they have a list of services and show their default settings and what you can tweak.

Link Removed find that the "tweaked" configuration works well for most people. If you do have problems, take note of what's going wrong and see if you can find a service in relation to that.
I'm don't know your system specs, but the best way to get the fastest startup is good hardware

Cheers to Joe for mentioning black viper, it would have gone right over my head.

I will have a go at some of the recommendations on the list and see what happens.

Additionally, disabling startup items using CCleaner to remove temporary files etc., using its registry cleaner (perhaps) and uninstalling unused programs from the operating system seems to work pretty well.

Autoruns is a more advanced program that allows you to prevent just about ANYTHING from launching during boot. Careful with it, however:
