When Turbo C/C++ takes more time to start...

Many times I have observed that Turbo C++ 3.0 ( Mostly used Turbo C++ compiler, used by almost everyone C/C++ programmer) takes time to load when you start it. Look at the screen shot below to remove all your doubts about which version I am talking about:

The message “Loading desktop…” flashes on the status bar of Turbo C++ editor. Most of the computer users think that its system maintenance time. They start their job by removing temporary files in their output directory, removing unwanted temporary files, defragmentation of volume and may be check system for virus attack. After doing all these dirty jobs when again they start Turbo C++, they realize that they have wasted their time as the problem remains as it was.
The solution of this problem is quite simple. Just log onto your Turbo C++ directory and remove the file TCDEF.DSK. Now try starting Turbo C++ and njoy.
