CreateProcessWithLogonW

[A T I F]

I am calling CreateProcessWithLogonW to spawn a new process in WinXP and it takes about 45 seconds on my computer to load the new process....any idea why this is happening....?? It takes about 2 to 3 seconds for the same call to spawn a new process on Win 2000 machine.

Yes...it seems that the exe is not taking the time...it is the CreateProcessWithLogonW call that is taking the time....

How different are the login profiles of both accounts ? (i.e., the one on winXP and the one on win2K) If one has more processes under HKCU->...->Run, then its normal that is requires more time. Just a thought DarkByte

It is a good thought indeed but for my case the user on both XP and 2000 are newly created standard users. They have been created from the User Management console in both OS.
