Client Slow - "Applying Personal Settings"

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

When logging onto the server from a client machine, it takes 3-4 minutes to
login once the dialog shows "Applying Personal Settings". What can be
changed so that there is no delay.

Thank you

David,

Are you using roaming or local profiles.
I'm going to guess it is roaming...
(the answer depends of course)

I start with a few things.Open Internet Explorer and Tools and option.
I go to the right tab and click on Delete temp internet files when
exiting or whatever the words are there.

I then delete all temp internet files from the far left tab. I open
Windows Explorer and click on Tools/Folder option/show hidden file. I
delete all temporary files.

If their desktop has a lot of files on it I create a folder on their C
partition and move those files there. Or if they are work related I
move them to their folder on the server.

I install the Microsoft User Profile Cleanup service.

I defrag the hard drive 2 or three times using Microsoft's defrag. Or
I install Raxco's Perfect disk and defrag with that.

Usually that gets the machine as fast as it is going to be.

Note that XP wants 512 megs minimum but works tons better with a gig
or more or ram. Ram alone can make a boot time go much faster, like
minutes faster when properly equipped.

I updated the nic drivers on the workstation and the boot up went from
5 minutes to one minute today.
