Thank you!

I've gone into startup (thank you orange) and removed some yuck there.

I did an analyze to check to see if it needed defragged and it did, and I'm doing that now.

But, even before the defrag, it had to restart to make the changes I'd done in "startup" and it only took two minutes before I could bring up firefox! Umm, heck of an improvement already. That's what was taking forever.

Now, when it's done defragging, the real test will be to see how long it takes to switch from one user to another (hubby's gripe).

Oh, I also changed some things like how long to go before the system "rests" and you have to log on again, etc. I did a clean disk, but I'd recently done that and there wasn't much there.

Hopefully we're getting there and thank you so much!

I'll let you know how it's going after the defrag. I'll switch user, then shut down and turn it back on. I'll report the progress.
