I am looking for some suggestions. I have Vostro with a dual core processor
& 4 g ram. I have a substantial amout of software installed which makes
booting a 15 minute process.

I was wondering if I could create a small network where the main computer
would access a server for the software. I know most software sets pointers
and stuff in the registry - and has small bits of code loaded at boot up.
How - if it can be done at all - can I speed up the boot - even if loading
the individual programs is a little slower.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Go through your programs and load ONLY those absolutely needed at startup.
Look at properties of each program
and deactivate any startups. You can also uncheck items in your startup
folder.
Then you can delete items in the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\
run.
Example: If after booting up you are not going to browse the net, why load
IE? Wait till you want to browse
then, click on IE.

Try 'StartupLite'

It will suggest which startups are necessary, which not

eliminate everything from startup that you do not need immediately after booting.
then using task scheduler, start the programs after boot.

I suggest read this article:

If this article doesn't help then I can categorically tell you that nothing
will. Your only option would be to reformat the HD and then start all over
again.
