re-arranging program
groups would not
likely be the cause.

the fact seems to be
that your desktop will
appear but after ten
minutes.

what might be the
problem is either
a fragmented registry
hive and or low memory
due to some software
that is set to start up
when windows loads.

you might want to compare
windows to the safemodes.
if windows in safemode is
more functional, then this
would be a clue.
