We did break one away last night. Regmon, Filemon, Process Explorer really
did not offer any obvious clues. What I did expect to see what Explorer
consuming processor, or a lot of waiting for something. What we did see was
some waiting (measured in 5-10 seconds) where Internet Explorer was setting
all of its directories for things like Cache, Favorites, etc. What is
interesting is we force all those directories during the logon process via
kixtart.

My guess would be services running in the background, printer mappings
maybe?
Michael could always break one of the servers off from the farm so only he
could log in, making it a bit more sane to log with file/regmon :) (Or get
really fancy and specify the PID of the exe you want to log!)
