Why does it take 3 mins to open the file folder My Computer
using explorer? This only occurs once at the inital
booting. John

Do you have Norton Anti-virus 2003?

Are you using TCP/IP on a network?
Check your DNS settings, point them to your own PC.

Thanks Ramesh....It actually turned out to be my HP scanner
Model 5370C. Unplugged same and that fixed the problem.
Thanks again. John
