'Connect ot network' slow to appear

Hi

Can anybody tell me why it takes 3 minutes (on a dual core laptop) for
'Connect to a network' appear? I have around 40 VPN connections configured,
which I believe to be the cause of the slowdown. When creating a network
connection on a clean Vista installation, the 'Connect to a network' appears
quickly (obviously).

That didn't help me. I have about 50 connections I use for dialin ou
from work. Under XP the rasphone.pbk works fine but I think VISTA has
bug. If I rename the rasphone.pbk then everything in vista works OK.
But as long as there is 50-60 entries in the rasphone.pbk, Vista takes
very long time to open network connects/properties or dialups PERIOD.
Does anyone have insight to a Microsoft FIX for the VISTA rasphone?
