This is a handy little trick you can use with Internet Explorer 6 to make it boot up extremely fast
Make a shortcut of iexplore on your desktop ... right-click on the shortcut to Internet Explorer and add the parameter '-nohome' to the end of the command line, like so:
Target: Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome

What exactly does this do? Just not start up your homepage?

Yes ... if you make about:blank your home page ... it'll load the default page .. you can see it in the registry .. somewhere like hkey_local_machine -- software -- microsoft -- internet explorer. and if the above mentioned parameter is specified .. the explorer will open with no page.
Similar to removing as many icons as possible from the desktop. The less work to do, the faster it all gets done.
Often I'm asked to speed up a machine, and then see the desktop packed with icons, as few as possible helps out quite a bit.

You can right click your desktop ---> on the right click menu select New --> Shortcut ...
Instead of going into the registry, open up 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options', for the Home Page, click on 'Use Blank'.
Easier and less chance of screwing up the system.
