Updated the network card driver, it did find a newer version and did a
re-boot. It took a few minutes to connect and for a little bit my apps
were loading fast... then they switched to slow again. It is a weird
thing how it is sort of a delayed reaction. So a toggling of the
superfetch or unplugging of the network appears to change loading times.
What could Vista be doing in the background. I do have external
network drives but disabling that software doesn't result in a change.
Any ideas anyone? I don't believe uninstalling the NIC and then
re-installing it would be different than the upgraded driver.

Try running the CCleaner with the downloaded settings and if no joy,
you might try reposting this with a title that better describes the
problem, now that you know more????

Mama always said that stupid is as stupid does. I narrowed the issue to
network related. Upon further review Windows OneCare firewall is the
culprit. I disabled it and all worked normal again. Checking to see if
Windows Vista Firewall is any better. I should have known that an MS
product was interfering with an MS product!
