Check that the files that are marked as not found really do not exist. If some of them do, you may have a problem with the PATH environment variable. If they genuinely do not exist, they are most likely leftovers from uninstalled programs. You should normally be able to guess which program it is by examining the file name. For example, in Program Files the product name or manufacturer name is usually part of the folder name. Only disable or delete entries if you are sure that they are part of an uninstalled product. Personally, I wouldn't bother. You can make the system unbootable if you disable the wrong thing.Is this Windows 7 SP1 Professional? Look for posts on performance problems by MagicAndre1981 on how to use the Windows Performance Toolkit to get to the root cause.You can also use Process Monitor to examine the boot process. The anti-virus program is a good place to start. If this is a computer you are using infrequently, several scheduled tasks like checking for updates, ant-virus program updates and scans will start running shortly after boot, making the computer unresponsive.
