Need help with sluggish IE

[Guest]

I recently installed SP2 for WindowsXP and now Internet Explorer is running
slower than molasses (literally). I've tried defragging, deleting unneeded
files, etc. and think I might need to uninstall Explorer and then
reinstalling it. However, when I go to the Control Panel > Add/Remove
programs, IE is not shown among the installed programs. What could I do to
get a "clean" copy of IE 6?
