Control panel and desktop property take lots of time to open

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I am having trouble in all of our new machines that I cannot understand.
After joining this machines into the domain, the control panel and the
desktop properties take lots of time to open in the machine, but strangly if
we disconnect the network cable all opens rapidly. We had complaints from
some of our users of long file open times in office apps also and again when
they disconnect the network cable all goes back to normal.

All of my other machines (400) do not have this problem.
Does anyone had this type of problem before ? How can I trace the problem.

Best Regards,
Carlos Cunha.

When your computer is connected to a network, booting up Windows XP can take
a long time.
A big part of this time is taking up by updating the group policies.

This tweak lets you log on before this process is finished. Because of this,
booting up is much faster.

Manual:

Go to the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

In this key, look for the following values:

SynchronousMachineGroupPolicy
SynchronousUserGroupPolicy

By default, these values don't exist. If you can't find them, create them as
REG_DWORD values. Set both values to 0.
