It loads to the login window as normal but after that when I
select my icon it takes about 5 mins to load my desktop and icons.
Anything I open after that takes ages to load, but the funny
thing is once I have opened it, say IE for example, I can open it
again and it loads quickly, almost as if once it is cached it is
ok.

A lot of hard drive activity?
