When you suddenly notice that your PC is running real slow at start up .. DRAG N DROP everything from the STARTUP Folder (found by START> PROGRAMS > STARTUP) into the column immediately behind it. Then do a restart of your PC / Laptop. You can eliminate programs in the STARTUP from causing your delays.
also check whether your PC is busy indexing "behind the scenes". right click on your drive or partition, select properties and uncheck the box marked indexing, apply to all folders and subfolders.
