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!
