I just had to reformat my windows xp hard drive, and I put
VB6 on my machine, and the computer boots and runs super
fast. Before I formatted my hard drive, I used .NET and
it forever for the pc to boot, and it also took forever to
load a program. Does .NET cause this slowdown?

Unlikely. Did you have lots of other stuff on your machine before
reformatting it?
 
If you had VB6 on the workstation before and created COM objects your
registry would get a great workout. Reformatting brings the registry back
under control. The longer you have a development workstation up and running
the more cluttered the registry gets and the longer everything takes.
