Slow start-up??

I'm running Microsoft XP Home SP2. When I start the computer it takes
forever to get ready and it sounds like it's scanning thousands & thousands
of files.

I regularly delete the Temp Internet files & history etc. Is there some
other hidden cache somewhere that I should be clearing.

Can anyone help me with my problem?

Thanks,
Bernie Sloane

Have firewalls running?
