Re: after bootup and login, takes ages to see the folders in My Computer

When I have the same kind of a problem, I have found that it has something
to do with my HP printer. I shut it down and My Computor opens right up

Hello,

This is regarding Windows XP Professional on a Dell Inspiron 5160. When I
boot up, the login welcome screen comes up in around 64 seconds. Next when
I enter my password, it takes around 45 seconds for my desktop to come up.
I can then start a command terminal and type commands. However, if I open
My Computer at that point, it takes further 3 minutes for it show its
contents. During that time, it just shows that it is searching the
contents of that folder.

I also notice that the folder contents show up at the time when the
wireless connection starts up, zone alarm starts up and I get the wireless
bars on the status bar. Other things startup right after I get the desktop
(Symantec Antivirus, touchpad, volume control).

The OS is completely updated. I have scanned for trojans, spyware and
viruses and I am pretty sure that the computer is clean.

I see this as some problem with the networking starting up after I login
after a reboot. I have run bootvis (bootviz?) and it also shows that it
takes around 110 seconds for all things to finish. I am just not sure why
it takes those 3 minutes to search for a folder contents and to start the
networking after I login. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Oh, btw, I uninstalled Skype and Yahoo Messenger to see if that helped. No
luck. I also tried to remove all unnecessary startup enteries (using
msconfig), but that didn't help either.

thanks,
->HS
