cntrl+O then IE hangs up

[Jim]

When i hit cntrl+O and then type in a url, the computer
takes about two minutes before it connects to the url.
But if I click on the URL from the favorties drop-down
menu, it connects right away.

Another thing, when I click on My Computer it takes
forever (about 2-5 minutes) to "find" the other drives or
anything in the window. After the minutes pass
everything is there like normal.

Help, I can't figure this out.....

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

Also when was the last time you used the defrag tool?
