PC is quite new, had Symantec temp-license installed that I uninstalled and installed Trend PC-Cillin. Boot operation speed was normal after.
With wireless card (Belkin Airgo true-mimo) pulled and check removed from "Auto search for network folders and printers" boot speed was still very slow:
40seconds to shut down
2mins - 10seconds to boot to windows password dialog box
45 seconds to stable desktop
At that point an annoying IBM Client Security Setup Wizard dialog box appears that offers to provide increased window password authrization - THAT I DO NOT NEED! and so I delete. It seems this step adds about 10-15seconds to boot from regular windows password stage.
Creating new account did not shorten the above boot times.
