During the pause between the DeskTop picture showing up and hard drive icons showing up, the Finder is loading. Of the many things it does when Finder starts up, two come to mind that may be affecting your Max. If you have an alias of your hard drive(s) in your Apple menu, it is taking time to scan your drives and create the list. The second is loading of the desktop items. I think it might help if you run the freeware TechTool Lite to rebuild your desktop. Another thing to try is to trash the Finder Preferences file. David S.
