Need help with win xp
 

last few days when i fire up my computer
it takes very long time to get to the blue login window
normally it takes 20 secs but now 1.5 minutes
and when i shut down it also takes longer then normal
why is that?
i havent changed anything
i have run latest virus scans and no virus is found
i also did a sysedit check and saw that the autoexec bat file
is totally empty
is that normal in win xp ?
