Where can I find a step-by-step boot log of my Windows XP machine? I'm looking for something akin to the boot log you would get in Linux (with what is running at what times, how long it is running, etc).
I am specifically interested in the what is happening after I get out of initial boot phase (AKA, the Windows XP logo goes away and I move to the generic blue background, and as I log in as a user onto the machine).

+1 Process Monitor will sure do the job. Please note that BootVis is indeed deprecated and has been replaced by XBootMgr.exe available for later editions of Windows, although that BootVis should still work for Windows XP. And indeed, for the KISS principle experience, Soluto is indeed the way to go... :-)
