Depending on the size of your hard drive, 20 minutes or more may be normal
for Norton Disk Doctor.

As for the desktop thing, have you tried replacing the desktop files,
instead of rebuilding them? That makes for a more thorough overhaul. You can
either use TechTool Lite to do it for you, or do it by hand.
