Slow start up times

[Michael Bigley]

After posting this start up time issue on an OSX tech list, I 
actually received much the same information as this list with one 
exception:

According to some posts on that list, even a BADLY fragged disk would 
only cause about a 20% increase in startup time.

However, starting in verbose mode (cmd-v) ends before my problem 
starts. That fact and creating a new user and starting up in the same 
time as others on this list report, tells me (with prompting from the 
tech list) that the finder is trying to execute something it can't, 
such as connect to a server or device that isn't present.

Of anyone on this list can suggest ways of purging Finder of this 
stuck process, please help.  As a last resort I will delete the 
Finder prefs, which may be the only solution. But it shouldn't be... 
;-)
