So this can't be a solution :p

Another possibility is that you have lots of files in your account your Dad doesn't, that windows quickly processes at start up. Saving these files let's them fragment all over your hard drive and when windows quickly checks through your documents at login it has to search for all the little shreds on your Hard Disk. Try defragmenting all partitions on your HDD and see if the problem continues...

Posting for banned members is not allowed; you should have just given that advice and not mentioned Marissa
