Last night, I used MS' old Bootvis v1.3.37.0 (is that the latest?) and

screen before logging in so it is not the startup programs. If I am
reading this analysis correctly, there are unknown drivers too. I also
noticed if I wait a minute or more before logging in, then my desktop
starts up fast. It's like prebuffering (prefetching?) or something?

Resume Activities since they showed nothing).

Do you get an event in your Event Viewer that says, "Custom dynamic link
libraries are being loaded for every application"?
