Preparing Desktop message occurs occasionally on startup
Every now and again when i boot up my laptop and after entering my password. Rather than saying Welcome i get preparing desktop.
When this first happened i got the plain blue desktop with none of my icons. It was not long after a windows update so i system restored to before this update and it appeared to fix the problem.
Its done it again recently despite no updates. However now it seems to take ages to create a desktop.
Rebooting my laptop seems to solve the problem but this is rather inconvenient.
Any solution would be appreciated however i'm not that technically minded so keep it simple if possible. A step by step process would be great.
