Sorry but tried to get info into title!!

So I built my own pc and its ben running great for months.

  • Recently i have been leaving it on overnight for download etc (i dont know if this is a factor in the issue, but thought to involve the info)
  • Startup PC, gets to main desktop however bottom right mini icons shows ONLY "safely remove hardware" icon. All my others (about 6 programs) are NOT there.
  • If i double click on my computer all the drives C to J have no icons and are just white boxes.
  • If i alt cnt del it doesnt come up...
  • FINALLY after about 45sec to 1 min all the pgrams start opening, everything works, al icons appear etc etc... and the pc works 100%.
  • From my *limited* understanding it seems like there is some startup pogram that is not opening or opening slowly... and then after a long time it either works or gives up and then everything just runs accordingly..
  • its not an end of world issue, but my pc is high spec and boots in about 20-30 secs but them im sitting on desktop for about a minute before i can use it...!!
Any idea welcome please!

pretty much the whole system "stalls" after getting to desktop before all applications start running (startup programs)
