Yo guys, havn't posted here in awhile,and had no idea where this thread should go, so I put it here. So, on every computer I've owned, I have noticed the more items I put on my taskbar, my desktop takes a little bit longer to boot up, like my loading cursor sign will appear for a lot longer if i have my taskbar filled up, where if I have 5 items on my taskbar, fast boot up, etc. Also, I am the kind of guy that has to have everything open and everything on startup, but still, by adding a more items to my taskbar, I boot up slower? P.S. This is what it looks like atm. http://gyazo.com/b9c1ae9d6480c72a4b88ad672cf7187e
 
You've already proven that fewer items in the taskbar equates to faster boot times, so I'm unsure as to what your question is.
 
I don't really get why it should be slower, maybe it is a placebo effect, but if you proved it, I have nothing else to say.

Maybe you should try with a taskbar replacement system like Rainmeter?
