slow start menu

When I click on start>Programs (the all programs menu)it
takes about 15 seconds for the all programs menu to come
up, and the hard drive makes a repetitive sound while this
is happening. Is this a registry problem with the program
menu order? Any help would be appreciated.

I've already done the usual maintenance things like
defragging, disk clean up, and full scanning.
