Well what's weird is it's gotten worse since I patched to sp1 yesterday and not sure why...used to take about a min, and now it's twice as bad! And like I said, when I disable my wireless (this disabling all network connections) it only takes 35 secs or so-still slow considering I have an SSD (and when I first installed Windows on it before I put it on the domain it was like 2-3 secs to fully log in which was awesome!!), but WAAAY better than the current 2.5-3 mins. At this rate, I'll never want to reboot! :P Anyone know a way to look in the registry for whatever might be slowing things down and ripping it out?! And yeah, unless I can find something here I'll just have to get IT to take me off the domain... Btw, does anyone know what I'm buying myself by being on the domain now?! I never really understand the MS networking stuff; never made much sense! :P
