Correcting System Hang at Startup:
Ifyour system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't
access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific
service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the background.
Microsoft put out a patch for this but it didn't work for me. Here's
what you do:
1. Click on Start/Run, type 'msconfig', then click 'OK'.
2. Goto the 'Services' tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer'
service, disable it, apply the changes & reboot.
This problem with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service should have
been corrected in Windows update Q 314862, part of Service Pack 1.

(Works only in XP style Start Menu not in the classic, and make sure "Enable
