Do you have multiple profiles defined?
If so, have you specified a default profile.
If not the system will appear to hang for the default timeout amount
until a profile is selected.

Hey I would hope that someone here has run into this and knows the
fix for it (think I did it for WinXP but can't figure out how for
the life of me! :P)...
So I've got a laptop from work; installed Win7EE 64-bit on it,
replaced the HD with a 80GB Intel G2 SSD, and am running Office 2010
64-bit too, so it's blazingly fast! just a few secs to startup and
login, and literally 2-3 to shutdown from the moment I hit Shutdown...
Except for one thing: I went and added myself to the work domain
(VPN'ed in and had someone from IT with the administrator account
log in and add me to the domain). Now the problem is that when I
log into my user account (domain\user with password) it sits there
thinking for a while, presumably b/c it can't contact the PDC
(Primary Domain Controller) for my domain and has to wait for the
timeout to expire...
I remember having this problem on my old computer with WinXP and I
thought I found a registry hack that would reduce or eliminate the
timeout but I can't find it for the life of me (and I've been
googling for weeks). I did go through and eliminate some startup
scripts and other things that were trying to reach WINS servers
(which wouldn't work since I'm never locally on the network) but
that didn't really help...
Thoughts/ideas/solutions? I'd really like to get my startup/login
time back down again! Someone suggested removing myself from the
domain, but I don't think I want to do that (or does being on the
domain not matter that much anymore?). Thanks for any help!
