When you have a slow “login” on windows 7, here is a helpfull post I found on the net.

——————————————————————————–
Last week i spend hours trying to fix my malfunctioning windows 7, because it showed me the “welcome” bubble for 20 seconds everytime i logged in/rebooted. So today i got fed up with it, and reinstalled win7.
Closely watching the steps i was making, before the dreaded lag would commence, i found out the cause of the long delay when logging in: The lag is introduced when removing the windows background, and selecting a solid color instead.

You can reproduce this easily by putting a background picture, logging off, logging on, -> login is within 1 sec
Now change background to a solid color, log out, log in -> wait 20+ seconds before you can see the desktop.
