More likely that there are mapped drives that are not connected which
are causing the slowdown (Windows is trying to connect to those drives,
thus causing the delay). You'll have to figure that one out, but at
least now you know where to start. Try enabling them one at a time and
see which one (or ones) cause the issue.
Good luck,
