I am a PC user who is learning how to use a Mac at work...recently I set up the multiple users on one of our Macs so that we can leave it as a stand-alone work station and not have to worry about anyone manipulating the computer. The problem I'm having is that it takes almost two minutes to load the desktop between logins. I've searched the net and can't find any information on this problem. No one will wait that long to see what is on the computer. Any ideas?
