XP Logon

[Guest]

I have a Windows XP machine that has 4 different users. Whenever one of those users select their user logon, it takes almost two minutes for it to load the user and then it starts to load that users settings. Anything I can do to speed up the process??

Defrag the hard disk
Scan for virus
Scan for spyware
Get a copy of Norton Utilities and run the One Button Check Up.

If you have the Firewall thing enabled in XP, try to disable it to see if it
makes any difference.
If it works, something is trying to dial out from your computer. Get a copy
of Firewall program to see what is trying to dial out from your computer.

If none of the above help, get a copy of HiJackThis and then copy what it
finds and search the web for more information.

If that does not work, check to see if you have enough memory to run XP. Get
at least 512 meg.

Already done all that. I have heard that XP will look out across a local network looking for connections at login that it doesn't necessarily need to and that is why it takes so long to load a user. There is supposed to be a setting in XP to change that, however I can't find it. Does anyone know what it is
