Probably unrelated, but having timed the boot and shutdown
times for XP, it does boot faster than W2k, but then a close
down takes even longer than the saving on boot. I wonder if
the problem is windows thinking it has to save settings so
that it can open the program quicker next time <g>.
Certainly it is not just FB/IB that has this problem in XP.
