On a new WinXP (Home) desktop, there's a long (45 second delay while the
computer displays the "Welcome" splash screen. I havn't seen this on other
similar computers. Any ideas on what might be happening?

Yep, just about all PCs. You are loading up too many
Click to expand...
programs at startup. Go to: Start/Run/type MSCONFIG
then click OK/startup tab. Now uncheck/disable
everything except your anti-virus, if Norton, it will
start with NAV > click Apply > OK > reboot. Now you have
a "lean, mean machine", and should boot in 20 seconds.
You're NOT deleting any program, only stopping them from
loading and saving system resources.
