Correcting System Hang at Startup

I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Correcting System Hang at Startup

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the background. Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't work for me. Here's what you do: Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
Go to the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.

In the orig post it says to disable it and apply changes. Are you just referring to clicking apply or are there other changes?

I have another method to do it for those who did not find any change in performance

Just try it

o Go to start menu->Run

o Type msconfig

o Under the services tab deselect the "ASP.net state service" option

Try it!!!
