Are you redirecting your start menu? The problem could lie in your
connectivity if so.

Good luck,

Subject: [THIN] The slowest Start button on the planet - guaranteed

Environment - NT4, Metaframe 1.8 (I know, I know).

Around 80 servers.  Upon logon, you spend minutes waiting to be able to
fully control the Start Button.  I believe something is up with
Explorer,
but I haven't been able to find it yet.  The ICA Toolbar is also seen on
the
Desktop, but everything on it works immediately.  So, my workaround to
figure out what is happening on a server is to add the Command Prompt to
the
ICA Toolbar, click it, and then do everything I need to from there.
Explorer really seems to be the only thing that is acting this way.

After a few minutes Explorer seems to finally be done doing whatever it
is
doing and everything is fine the rest of the day for that session.  I
have
run AdAware, Hijack This, etc looking for any additional clues but came
up
empty.

How can I find out exactly what Explorer is doing when this is
happening?  I
have tried FileMon and am heading for RegMon next.  Great tools, but not
a
lot of fun with 50 other users on the server at the same time.

Thanks in advance.
