Laptop takes forever to load on docking station

[CAskier]

I have an HP laptop that takes forever to load when it is connected to
my docking station at work. It boots quickly to the login screen but
once I enter my password it takes almost 5 minutes to get to the
desktop. I could understand if it was the other way around and the
laptop was looking for a network connection when I was away from my
work domain but when I take laptop off the docking station and boot,
it boots normally and does not take long to load the desktop. I have
searched Event Viewer but have been unable to find anything that
indicates any problems or suggests what the problem might be. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Check your, "prefetch folder", and look to see what is loading at startup,
and then edit out the items that you don't use regularly.

Cheers!
