Default Computer slows to 1% speed randomly and at startup

You may want to look into a WinXP activity called "Search Indexing"
which causes the pc to slow down while the search and indexing is taking
place. It appears that this function can be disabled which is likely not
a problem unless you do a LOT of file searches within your pc.

Do a GOOGLE search for "Windows XP Search Index" and you will find a lot
of discussion/info. The following link has an overview of this
condition...and how to disable it.
