It takes about 5 minutes to get the computer to a state where I can use it after I turn it on. Here is the HIJACKTHIS outcome and the STARTUP outcome. Please help…!

Bill

Hi Krbybng. I have removed your main HiJackThis log and have rolled it up as an attachment. We don't usually use, nor request HJT logs in the Windows support forum. Instead, we leave these up to the malware removal experts to analyze. If we do need or want anything from HiJackThis we will request it from you. And, even then, it must always be an attachment and not a copy and paste to the forum. We don't want google indexing hijackthis logs in the windows support forum because it is primarily a malware removal tool and is used only in the malware removal forum. Please do not post any more HJT logs unless requested to do so by a helper. We have many other tools at our disposal that usually provide comparable or better information for us to offer you quality assistance. Thanks, and good luck with getting your issue resolved.

Hello There. You could try this to aid with faster start up.
http://www.windowsstartup.com/download.php
http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download
I could give you a link for a good registry defragger which would also help but there seems to be a bit of confusion by the moderators between a defragger and a registry cleaner.

Delays of that magnitude are almost always network related.

First, check to see if Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator is started in Services. If yes, is the Startup type set to Manual? If it's Automatic, double click on it and change it to Manual. That way it will only start if needed.

Now do the following:

Control Panel
Folder Options
View tab
Uncheck "Automatically search for network folders and printers"

Reboot and see how it behaves.
