Desktop icons slow at loading

This is probably a simple fix for anyone except a numpty like me!! When I log on, the desktop icons take between 4-5 seconds to appear (randomly). I'm sure this is nothing to worry about but it's so annoying. Is there a quick fix to make them appear instantaneously?
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

It`s probably nothing to worry about.

Check what processes/programmes run on startup and disable any you don`t want or need.

Click start/run and type msconfig into the run box and press the enter key.

When the window appears, click on the startup tab. You will see a list of processes/programmes that start with windows. Uncheck any you don`t want.

Click apply/ok. you will be prompted to restart your computer. Once your computer has rebooted, you will see a message that says you have used msconfig to make changes etc. Tick the box that says not to run msconfig the next time you start your computer and click ok.
