Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those

hi! try this tweak it work's for me! right click on the blank screen on your
desktop then select new and click Shorcut and right this down to the Target:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome
that's all....it make's my IE browser much faster to load than the
origanial one.

Alex,

Thanks for taking the time to reply - it is Outlook Express that is opening
slowly - not Internet Explorer - I have my IE home page set to blank so it
opens pretty quickly - may try your idea anyway. Nothing is ever too fast
for me

Larry,
Thank you for the reply - I have removed/disabled messenger so I don't think
that is an issue - whatever it is started a few days ago and I am not clear
if I did anything prior to it happening or not

Rory,
I have Norton AV and AdAware installed - all seems to be fine in those
areas - thanks for the reply
