Workstation Service slow startup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have a problem on my Toshiba Notebook. When Window XP with Sp1 start up,
the Workstation Service get very slow to start. it takes around one to two
mins to startup. Is there a way to fix this problem. Can I disable this
service at all?
