The other thing that works, despite denials from certain other techies, is to go to Start/Run and type in 'Prefetch' (without the quotes). Then go to Edit in the top tool bar and Select All. Then hit Delete. All computers get much faster afterwards.
XEyedBear is talking about nine minutes to start up not the milliseconds that prefetch takes.
