Is it my imagination, or have my three computers become slow launching apps
via shortcut keys since installing SP2? Sometimes 10 - 15 seconds.

TIA for any input.

Best regards,
John

It can take several days and 3 or 4 reboots for XP post SP2 to speed up.
First defrag. The boot prefetch will kick in after the 3 rd reboot.
It takes several days for the prefetch folder to be rebuilt. And the in
built optimization kicks in every 3 days. After that defrag again.
