Cal,
Yes too many desktop icons can cause slow startup.
You can put the icons (if shortcuts) in documents if you wish.
If you do a clean boot you may be able to descrease the boot time.
Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup - Windows 7 Forums
for Vista, too.
And you just knew we would have a great tutorial for that, too.
