Explorer.exe taking it's time by Chris4 on 07-16-2007 at 07:23 AM
The past few days when I've been logging on to Windows and explorer.exe is taking about 60 seconds to load.
It's not like there are loads of programs that are causing it to lag. All the programs are loaded in a few seconds, but explorer.exe just takes ages to load. Nothing is going slow, there is hardly any programs on msconfig and it was fine before, they all loaded quickly with the same programs ticked ?
Any ideas why it's taking so long to load?

No, he's totally right. I'm not sure what the problem is Chris, but my very clean win2k installation takes two minutes and forty seconds for the start button to show [too many live updates installed, perhaps]. It's not that explorer takes ages- you can check this directly by killing it through the task manager.

Ok thanks.
I did an antiv virus scan and it had 2 viruses. I think it's faster now 
Thanksss.
