Ah ha! Sorry, may be I mis-checked that item.
How about the black screens? When I checked out the msconfig tabs as your instruction, the default timing out was 2 secs. So I guess there could be something other than heavy schedule of starting up items. Could it be possible that there is still something bad remaining in my machine?

No, your computer is perfectly clean.
Norton is a known resource hog. We may test something in a moment, but....
Did you complete all steps from my reply #22?
Also...
Please, post some computer info:
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key, hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")

Yeah, I just finished the process after fixing the right-click problem. Here is the information about my machine:
IBM Corporation
Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2400 @ 1.83GHz
1.83 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
Used space: 29.3 GB
Free space: 40.2 GB
PS: the symantec note comes back... I have manually edited the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\Monitoring\SymantecFirewall\DisableMonitoring = 0x00000000(0)
Yet after rebooting my computer, the value is 0x00000001(1) again.

Try this.....
Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all
IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.
Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.
Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.
NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.
Same slow boot?

Sorry for the delay, coz I got stuck up...
Firstly, I tried your basic resolution. The system started within 1 min! However, as I was trying to report that good news, I found the internet being disabled...
Then, I tried to enable most startup items, so that it matches the original setting. The system still started up quickly, but the internet was again unavailable.
So, I had to enable some of the services. It turns out that enabling all services related to Symantec can work. On top of that, the system started within 3 mins. Not fast enough, but sounds better.
The only issue I am concerned is that the post logon black screen still appears, and the Windows tune is still played during the black display. Shall I do something to it? Coz I read from various resources that there could be a problem with those black screens. Also, the "symantec disabled" note still shows up.

If I were you, I'd uninstall Norton, using Norton Removal Tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
If things work out, here are your alternatives:
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html
- Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
- free Comodo Internet Security (firewall + AV): http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
NOTE. During installation, Comodo will also allow you to install AV only, or firewall only, if you prefer to combine one Comodo product with some other product.
If you decide to install Avast, or Avira, make sure, Windows firewall is turned on, or use Comodo firewall..
If you decide to install Comodo Internet Security, or just Comodo firewall, make sure, Windows firewall is turned off.
IMPORTANT! Make sure, you use only ONE antivirus, and ONE firewall.

OK, I'll try it out. By the way, could it be the problem with my RAM? During the struggling process in the past hour, I once tried to enable all BUT symantec services (coz I was a little bit concerned about it). As a result, I wasn't able to access the internet, yet it still took me about 3~4 mins to get started. Is it possible that part of my RAM is corrupted?
