slow startup desktop icons

this isnt a big deal, but I've been wondering what causes it-after reloading
my operating system again for various reasons (xp home), I've noticed how
fast the desktop icons appear on startup and after loading numberous programs
and filling up the desktop with icons, they still all appeared instantly on
startup, but I recently got a hung error with realone player and now when
icons load on startup, they appear in a single file sort of way if you know
what I mean-they're no longer instantly there-is this indicating some sort of
problem that wasnt there before? free pet rock to anyone who can answer--

Have you tried defragging since then? A hung file might have left remnants
of itself scatterd over half the hard drive. First thing i waould do is
analyze your disk with defrag.
