Hi, all.

After logging on i have strange behavior of Windows Explorer. After logon it
draw desktop, icons, taskbar but it won't accept user input at all. I can
press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to call Task Manager and run any program from it, but
Explorer won't take any input for half of minute. There is no programs that
may load CPU, it's usage is near zero. I don't have anything in autoload.
Explorer just wait for something. After half minute or entrie minute it
start actively work with HDD for a few seconds and unfreeze.

How to determine what it wait for?

My PC is Windows XP Professional SP2 (English) running on P4 2.4Ghz in
hyperthreaded mode, RAM 1GB
