I'll make a note of what needs to start and what shouldn't from your list
below but if that doesn't solve your issue then I'm sorry but I can do no
more. If the wait is onerous - and 4 minutes certainly is more lengthy than
it should be - take the machine to a competent local computer tech or have
them come on-site if this is a business. Someone who can look at the machine
directly will have a far better chance of pinpointing the culprit(s) than
someone merely reading about it in a newsgroup. If you go this route, don't
use your local equivalent of a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.

The above items need to run at Startup.

If this Belgium Identity Card is some sort of smart card that you need for
work or is used to get to the Internet (3G network perhaps?) then I suppose
you need it. It could definitely slow down the system.

The item above is optional to start with Windows but it doesn't slow down my
clients' machines more than a few seconds.

The item above doesn't need to start with Windows but I usually leave it

If you don't use QuickPlay, the item above doesn't need to start with
Windows.

If you don't use Media Center, the items above don't have to start with

If you don't use the Sidebar, it doesn't need to start with Windows.
I don't see anything for a printer. If you have a printer installed, perhaps
it or its attending software is the culprit.
Since you didn't keep to your original thread, I don't know whether you ever
answered my question about entries in Event Viewer. Event Viewer is well
worth examining because if something is attempting to start but failing,
trying again, failing, and then finally timing out that could produce the
symptoms you are seeing.
