Safarp your Windows applications
One of the slowest loading utilities on Windows XP is the Add / Remove Programs applet. In addition to its snail-like startup time, I’ve discovered that it often fails to uninstall applications completely. If you’re interested in an alternative, consider Safarp.

Safarp stands for Small And Fast Add/Remove Programs. It’s not as full featured, not as pretty, but it’s fast. As a comparison, where Add or Remove Programs takes 30~40 seconds to load, Safarp loads in less than a second. This fastness is allowed by two features: the Fast mode and the Load icons option.
Safarp definitely loads within seconds. Another recommended application for general computer maintenance and add / remove functionality is RegCleaner.
