Mel,

[Start]
| Run |
services.msc
[Enter]

In the Services (Local) list,
right-click "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)"
and then click [Stop].

When "Service Status:" = "Stopped",
change "Startup Type:" to [ Disabled ]
[OK]

I don't think this article applies. The delay occurs when a create a
keyboard shortcut for the program (eg: ctr/alt/s runs a certain program).
