RE: [QUAD-L] Controlling other computers
I think while the WELCOME screen is up, the OS is loading itself and all your preferences from disk. Check the disk activity light. If it's blinking or on solid, you are waiting for everything to get into memory and setup for your use. Shutting down takes too long for my liking. Haw many files can be open and need such lengthy cache dumping and closing? (I just edit the c:\boot.ini file to chg the other wait for OS choice to load. Never knew ther was an option somewhere.)
