I have the same problem. Several XP pro machines that
belong to a SBS 2003 domain. The login prompt comes up
fairly quickly as MS advertises. But once the users logs
in, it says "Applying your personal settings" for up to 5
minutes. Is there anything that can be done to optimize
that process? Could it have anything to do with roaming
profiles or offline folders? The users never roam and
don't need offline folders. Any advice to speed things
up? (And no viruses. New install of XP and Norton 2004
running does the same.)
