What happens during the "Loading Your Personal Settings" and "Applying Your Personal Settings"?
Does anybody know exactly what's happening during the "Loading Your Personal Settings" and "Applying Your Personal Settings" stages? This applies to Windows XP Pro. Any idea where I can find technical reading material on the log on process?

"Loading your personal settings..." load the user's profile.
"Applying your personal settings..." processes and applies any Group Policies specific to this user.

Turns out the slow log on issue had to do with three poorly ordered DNS entries on client's TCP/IP Properties. Our inside DNS server's entry (10.0.0.1) was at the bottom of the DNS entries list when it should have been wither first or simply by itself.
