since a few days FreeCommander was starting very slow (about 1:35 min). I first tried re-installing, different versions, as well as a total clean start (new profile), but to no avail. Then I saw in another thread here that someone used "procmon", and I did that too. Turned out, that FC was accessing a large file (2.6GB) on my desktop. After removing the file from Desktop, FC starts as fast as always. So for me the problem is fixed, but you may check what is going on to fix that behaviour... Why is FC reading desktop files anyway?
Here's a part of what procmon recorded, this is repeaded for quite a while:
