My computer sometimes takes about 30 minutes to boot. The excessive
delay is in the "applying security policy" step before a password is
even entered.

My computer is an old one that's not too fast, but my son often has
the same problem, and his CPU is running a Pentium IV over clocked to
3gHz, so CPU speed isn't the problem, it seems.

Is there a fix for this or any recommended way around it? I thought
it was fragmentation of my hard disk so I defragged it last week
without any improvement.
 
Did you really mean "minutes" and not "seconds"???

Anyway your question belongs in another newsgroup, not in Access Forms.
 
Microsoft has a tool to speed up the boot time, you can dowload from this
link.
I assume you have defragged and checked your startup programs list to see
what is loading on startup.
