 I found the following information which may help in
resolving this type of issue: (I changed mine & it still
hung on 'loading your personal settings' which confirmed
that it was not one of the programs that Windows loads)

"Show Verbose Security Status Messages (Windows 2000/XP)
This setting allows you to configure Windows so that you
receive verbose startup, shutdown, logon, and logoff
status messages. This may be helpful to in
troubleshooting slow startup, shutdown, logon, or logoff
behaviour.

Open your registry and find or create this key:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows ->
CurrentVersion -> Policies -> System

To enable verbose status messages create a new DWORD
value called "verbosestatus" and set it to "1".
(verbosestatus REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1))

An additional value called "DisableStatusMessages" forces
status messages to be disabled, make sure this value does
not exist or is set to "0". (DisableStatusMessages
REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0))

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.


Registry Settings

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionP
olicies
System]
Value Name: verbosestatus
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enable verbose status)

System Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionP
olicies
System]
Value Name: disablestatusmessages
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (1 = default, 0 = enable verbose status)
