Analysis of logon times - how to speed it up...
Logon time analysis
Tested using a Windows 7 64bit computer in an MSI Testing OU with Block Inheritance ticked, therefore ruling out any Group Policy Issues.
Moved a Pupil test logon "4480" to the same OU.
Initial Logon time to desktop with no egg-timer = 40 seconds.
Repeated with same user, logon time to desktop with no egg-timer = 4 seconds.
On checking C:\users\4480 I find it’s 24.3 Mb
Further analysis shows that:
C:\Users\4480\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
Is built up as shown below:

How can I stop this creation of unnecessary data and speed up logon times for first use.
