Start menu slow to display

[John Doue]

Hi,

On one of my machines (which have a nearly identical set-up), access to
the Start Menu various items is slow (several seconds), with hard disk
activity before they display.

Since I have 1.5 G of RAM, it is not an issue of lack of memory. What
can I do to make XP keep in memory the Start Menu and display it
instantly or almost, as on my other machines?

Thanks for your pointers.

Any invalid shortcuts or shortcuts pointing to network locations within
the start menu ?
