RE: icons slow to appear

I am experiencing the same problems with my system. When I log on, the
desktop icons seem slow to load, as does the start menu. This has happened
after I have used a program called PC Optimiser Pro 6, which is supposed to
improve system performance, but it has caused me some problems. I'd like to
know how to fix it!
