VS2005 Startup Delay

It takes 30-45 seconds from the time I click the VS2005 icon to the time the
IDE is displayed.  The splash screen comes up, and then the long delay during
which nothing seems to be happening.  I've tried uninstalling and
reinstalling to no effect.  When I run "devenv /Log", the log file entries
shown below show a 40+ second delay.  How can I fix this?  Version shows as
8.0.50727.42.  I've also removed MSDN libraries from the system, thinking it
may be an issue with loading the Help stuff.

Hardware specs?
Takes ~10 seconds here on Core 2 duo @ 2.76 GHz w/4Gig memory off a 7200 RPM
Seagate SATA.

About 5 seconds here... Pentium M 2GHz laptop, Vista, 2GB RAM, 7200 RPM.

Sounds like the IDE is probably reaching out across the LAN? Possibly to
check projects in your MRU that are located on a remote share? I dunno. You
can try clearing the recent projects MRU. Also disable any VStudio add-ins
individually to see if that helps.

You should also close any IDE windows that can cause load delays, most
notibly the Server Explorer window and Dynamic Help window.

Since the IDE remembers what windows to show (based on the windows you had
open when you shut down), if you close those windows before you close the
IDE, it won't try to open and populate them when you open the IDE.

It's definitely not a hardware performance issue.  This is a fairly new 3
GHz, 2 GB system and I have no performance issues otherwise.  My older laptop
opens VS2005 in 10-15 seconds.

I thought this might have something to do with past projects I opened on a
remote system, but after removing all the entries in ProjectMRUList and
FileMRUList, I still get the delay.  Are there some other reg entries that I
should remove?

Just found the answer to my own question.  I found reg entry
"DefaultNewProjItemLocation" that was still pointing to the remote system I
had opened some projects on.  Removed that and it's opening quickly again.

Thanks all for the responses!
