Hell again:
I attempted to find the original HD entry among the Login Items for purposes of deletion as suggested but instead found an entry called "codesignature folder." The bootup folder that opens upon startup appears to be this codesignature. I tried to find an explanation for this folder via Google but to no avail. I am unable to check the box that would potentially allow for the hiding of this folder upon startup, do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Addendum: Called Apple support and was told to delete the file rather than hide it, this eliminated the appearance of the the "_codesignature" folder. I deleted the original cache folder and repaired permissions but am still noting the slow boot...could it still be building the system cache and hot file?
