Re: Program Menu Very Slow to Load Up

Thank you both for responding. I've already done defrag, etc. (although it
takes forever to get to them since I have to wait for the program menu to
show up to be able to get to the System options). I may not have been clear
- it's not the programs themselves that take long to load, it's the menu
itself that lists all the programs for me to choose from. This has been a
problem for a number of months; my "work-around" is to put the icons for
those programs I use frequently directly onto my desktop, but it's
particularly annoying when I want to access a program that I can only get to
through the Program menu on my Start menu (or access it through My Computer/C
Drive/Programs/etc - you get the picture).
Any other suggestions? Thanks again!
