How can I checked the startup logfile in Vista?

For some reason after upgrading to Vista SP1 (RTM), my startup takes about 1
minute longer than before. I would like to see the logfile that is created
during the startup of the machine. Perhaps the dealy is being caused by a
faulty driver and I would like to try to see if I can find it.

Where/how do I find this log?

Thank you

Windows\Logs\CompletePC\

You will need elevation and there will be a warning for you to back off.
Proceed at your own risk

No sign of this on my Home Premium without SP1 of any variety. Any ideas?

Nope, I am sorry. I've got Ultimate across the board.

There is a chance that those files are invisible.

Control Panel>>Appearance and Personalization>>Folder Options>>Show Hidden
Files and Folders>>Press View Tab. Go down the list and find the position to
make them visible.

Unfortunately already have that option - different again in Home Premium -
Control Panel>>Folder Options>>View Tab.

Nothing like making things consistent is there?

Thanks again.
