After going through the optimization process on the front page again I'm about about 
2-3 seconds faster on the logo and, actually, much faster on the network start than 
when I started this whole mess (but that's probably only because of the things you 
just had me disable). Total time from logo: ~30 seconds, when with a fresh install 
+ essential drivers I was getting about 20-22.

Unfortunately, I think I will still need some of those services I just got rid of 
as I use file sharing to share files and IPX for older programs on my LAN.

One interesting note, though: Safe Mode loads the account selection screen in about 
20 secs, so I tried the selective boot options in msconfig. Running Diagnostic (all 
check boxes off) got me that "executing: ...\wlnotify.dll" message and long delay 
again. Other than that, no change in speed.

Got any more tricks up your sleeve?

Oh, and thanks for all the help so far.
