from load personel settings to desktop 2min

[Nick White]

XP Home. From loading personel settings, then my blue screen(my desktop
no screen saver) to the icons being visable is 2.20 secs. The loading
of personel settings take about 20 secs. What I would like to know is
what happens after the personel settings are loaded, and why it takes
so long to display the icons. I can see a flicker indicating disk
activity, the mouse is movable on the screen, the desktop appears, and
the programs are loaded on the task bar. Any ideas.

Thanks Ron for the info. I found that I have 6 entries of SVCHOST.EXE
in the log. Any idea why I have so many entries or is this normal.? One
ove them takes 115 secs to load.

Multiple instances of SVCHOST is normal with Windows XP. Each
instance loads a different set of services.

Taking 115 seconds to load does seem a bit excessive. Is there any
other data associated with that SVCHOST entry in the log that might
help to track it further, such as a Process Identifier (PID) number?
