help me! logon = slow

[Guest]

At startup my applying personal settings message takes an awfully long time to load. I had the same problem with Saving your settings on logoff but i fixed it by editing it in gpedit.msc. I went to start>run>gpedit.msc>Comp. Config.>Admin Temp.>System>Logon and I edited the Max. retries to unload.. i enabled it and set it to 3. Can i do the same thing with The Logon? Ive tried without success. thanks

P.S. I have no roaming profiles. and its just me and 2 other computers. (local

I don't know abut the startup problem, but what you did for the shutdown
masked the symptoms without fixing the cause. See this page for more
information and a real fix:

It sounds like your computer is looking for a DNS server that it cannot
find. Is this computer in a domain? Windows 2000 or 2003 domain? Need
more details.
