long delay after pressing ctrl+alt+del in XP

[Guest]

I have a user that when they press ctrl+alt+del to log in it "sometimes" has
a long delay of up to 3 minutes before asking for the username password.
This computer is in a domain. Why does it sometimes work instantanious and
other times it has a delay?

Thanks!!

Hi David,

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.
