Unexplained Delay Launching Applications

I'm getting a 30-60s delay launching almost any program (from Command Prompt,
Notepad, through any Office 2007 application), but only the FIRST time that
particular program is launched during a given session (not sure exactly what
"session" means yet).  The Windows Task Manager shows CPU usage is 99% by
System Idle Process during this delay (but I can't do much else while I
wait), so I have no idea what's causing the holdup.  Any suggestions to track
it down?

Some possibly relevant details:  Lenovo T61 (Core2 Duo) running XP SP2 with
all other current security updates (plus Windows Search 4.0 but minus SP3,
which Lenovo warns against).  ZoneAlarm Security Suite 8.0.298.035.  A bunch
(but not all) of the Lenovo garbage has been uninstalled.  Various other
tweeks that don't seem relevant...

Thanks in advance for any help -- JCW
