My parents new machine, with a load more ram and processor speed than mine, takes longer to load individual user settings than mine does. It is quick to boot up and is quick to run all programs and processes except when the user selects their icon at the start. It can take up to 4 minutes to load user settings. When they first got the system it only took a few seconds. What has changed and what can i do to remedy the problem?
 
Sometimes the size of the
files they hide in documents and settings can cause this.
See if they have large files videos, music, etc in these files.
Apparently the files are loaded when a user 'logs' on.
delete the files or move them to another directory.

Also look at their msconfig loaded programs.
Are they starting a virus scan when they load .....
