I really can’t understand why so many people complain about PC start-up slow problems, you only need a computer cleaner to handle all the problems, such as tuneup360.

It sounds like the PC is short of real memory. Windows XP needs at least 512 MBytes. So if you have less than that install some more. (Vista is even more hungry.)
Next get rid of any programs that you don't need because some of them will load stubs at startup slowing everything down. Next use the Windows Disk Cleanup Utility followed by the Disk Defrag Utilty.
