Control + ALT + Del delays for 60 seconds

The system lately has been having delays after logging in.
As soon as I do Cnt+Alt+Del and type my passsword, my
system takes exactly 60 seconds to allow my icons to
appear on my desktop. As far as i know i have all the
latest security patches and no new changes to the system.

This likely the amount of programs you have set to start at boot time or one
of these programs that is starting slowly. It could simply be the installed
anti-virus program taht is checking the drive or checking for updates at
boot time.

Go to Start/Run and type msconfig and press OK. Click the Start Up tab
to see the programs that start at boot time.
