Save Setting takes too long

[Larry Serflaten]

When logging off, the 'Saving your settings' box takes about 30
seconds or more. Another account does not have this problem.
Unfortunately, MSDN/KB did not return useful results. I seem
to recall there was a KB article about this but I can't find it.

What can I do to reduce the time it takes to log off?

I haven't tried it yet, I just now D/L the UPHC service, but that looks like
what I need to fix me up!

Thanks!
