Problem with shortcuts and shutting down

Did you clean install Win 7 or upgrade because your comp has plenty of power to run Win 7 smoothly, sounds like you have a background conflict that is causing the slow down, could be between Norton and PS, just some things to check

About startup items, type 'msconfig' in start menu search and select the first option and go to the startup tab and post the items.
Personally, I'd not install Norton. I've seen many cases of slow downs caused by it. However, the choice is yours.
As a side note, temporarily exit Norton, by right clicking the norton icon and selecting exit or similar option (I may be wrong as I've never used it) and then try opening any item.

I completed the scan and nothing was found.
How do I check the startup items?

Try this;
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall your Norton product | Norton Support
<http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080710133834EN&ln=en_US>
and see if that solves the problem. You can always re-install it later if you really want to, but I wouldn't! :)

I have seen similar behavior on any computer with a shortcut pointing to something that isn't there - or is there but pointing to a slower ROM disc. This happens to me every time I access my "Games" shortcut folder. One of the game shortcuts ties to see where it is pointed.
Unfortunately, Microsoft programmed Windows for all shortcuts to be active. And there's nothing more active than your Desktop.
Here's a really quick and simple thing to try, before wasting hours of time (and maybe money) on other things... Move all your desktop items off the desktop into a folder instead. You can even leave the folder on the Desktop. See if the 30-sec wait follows the folder. If it does, it's one of those icons. Then to find out which one(s), start moving them back to the Desktop one at a time.

I posted the method above. Isn't it clear to you? And have you tried temporarily disabling Norton?

You might also like to use this;
Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit
<http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html>
it will scan your machine and tell you what is installed where etc. Also if you have all relevant security updates, and a lot of other info.
It is completely free.

I don't understand why having Norton would take my icons take so long to work.
And no, it wasn't clear to me.
