Hello All,
My thinkpad after logging on shows a blank desktop for about 10 seconds before it actually loads the taskbar and icons?
how can i get it so that when i log on the desktop with the icons and starbar come up automatically and not delay
thanks for the replies

My guess is that it is loading several things in the background.

-Do you have adequate memory?
-Do you defragment often?
-Try running msconfig and deselect anything unneeded from the Startup tab. What exactly to unselect is up to you...anyone else here have a list of recommended items to leave checked???

I found out the problem!
its all the silly IBM services that load at the start up..
When i looked at task manager i found 40 services running *whoa*
than i skimmed it down to around 20
now its running like bliss
thanks

Umm... You might want to re-enable the Synaptics one, that's for your UltraNav trackpad...

Before I disable any services I don't know, check them at places like http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/search.php first. I am always afraid to disable some essential services.

For instance you disabled the ATI contral panel, which comes in handy at times, but is not essential for most operations.

Thanks for that,
Very good website, keep up the good work
