Slower than usual boot times.
Okay not sure why, but I have a pretty good idea why, my computer is taking longer than it used to to boot up. About 2-3 weeks ago I was getting about 30-45 seconds to hit the power button and get to the desktop ready to roll (aside from inputting my log in password). Here lately it has been taking up to several minutes to boot up.
Mind you, I have been doing some customization to my rig as of late (Changed my log in screen background, and been attempting to change the windows start orb) I'm thinking it has something to do with the explorer.exe file as the problem didn't start until I used "Windows 7 Start Orb Changer" to try and find a decent looking start orb, but to no avail and restored it back to the original using the same program.
I have my original explorer.exe file backed up to a USB flash drive in case this is the problem, I haven't tried it yet though, I would like to seek out other information regarding the problem before I do this. Any information you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S.
Any information regarding the change of the Windows Start Orb is welcome as well, although the main concern of mine is the boot time.
