monitor startup apps?

[Scott]

Is there anyway to actually monitor startup applications in windows xp pro
or with a 3rd party application? I know I can kill one thing at a time in
the registry or via msconfig and keep restarting, but I would like to know
if there is something that specifically shows "x application started at x
time and completed loading at x time [and took x time to load]".

The reason being, I have a new IBM T43 notebook that I am testing for our
company (we're thinking of switching from Dell D600's to these) and this
system logs in, shows the hard drive active protection icon in the system
tray as loaded then takes a solid minute before anything else happens and
once it does it loads almost all of the system tray icons at the exact same
time, then the remainder at the same time about 30 seconds later. It
basically starts up fast, then once logged in takes a hell of a long time
before I can actually do anything on the system.

Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!

Scott

ummm, I don't suppose this could actively log as startup is happening? I ran
it and all it does is shows you what does start, this I already know.

....?

Thanks,
