Great advice Wayne. Out of all the things I tried to check defragging slipped my mind. I too had a much slower boot after SP2, checked out the Defragging Tool and the HD was in shambles. I just reformatted and it's nearly back to normal.

Now how do I get rid of that darn Welcome Screen that makes me click my name when Windows boots? Just started appearing after SP2.

Richard- you don't need anything in your startup folder except maybe Anti-virus.
