    Toshiba Satellite, Vista Home Premiun, SP2, 64 bit.

    Just cleaned and updated this laptop. All is running exceptionally well, now. Using Winpatrol, only 5 programs in start-up, showing, 2 Winpatrols, SAS, Userinit., and Explorer.exe. All pretty normal. Nothing in delayed starts.

    Norton anti-virus, security center all green.

    But on Boot, it opens two Windows explorer processes, after initially showing the desktop, boots in under a minute.

    One is <<SQ0047909V01 (C): > USERS>MUH>APPDATA>ROAMING>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>START MENU>PROGRAMS>STARTUP>DISABLED

    Close that and the other is >COMPUTER>SQ0047909V01>(C): >PROGRAM DATA>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>START MENU>PROGRAMS>STARTUP>DISABLED

    Any ideas? I find some results for XP, but not for Vista.

    An update. I performed a sfc /scannow, after completion, it said some files were corrupt but couldn't be fixed.

    I then said the log of the scan could be found at c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log.

    When I go to open that file, I get Access Denied. :major

    This whole scan thing, I don't know. I know also on other computers I have run this on, I always get this access denied message!

    What gives, and is it any good anyway?

    Edit;

    Ignore that. Copied it to desktop, 47M log file, too large to be of any use, would take a month to read it.

    Hate to keep responding to my own posts, :-o

    But, problem solved by deleting the folders it was opening to.

    Apparently some minor corruption from some malware removal last Friday.

    I'm sure somebody would have eventually suggested that I try this anyway, but it now boots completely normally to the desktop.

    All is well and life is good again. :)
