Explorer Hanging on boot

Recently, explorer has started hanging right after boot for about 30-60 seconds. During this time, if I click on the start menu or try to open explorer, I will just get the hourglass. After 30-60 seconds, whatever I clicked on will pop up and everything will be fine after that.

I can click on an application shortcut on my desktop and that will load right up.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions?
