Jump to PostDo you have a lot of add-in toolbars, like Alexia, Google, etc? Do you use popup blocking software? I find that a combination of all of these, especially popup blocking software dramaticly slowes down the IE launch.

Try, maybe deleting all "HISTORY" files.. Along with the TEMP and Temporary files. Also, set your start-up homepage to blank.. See if that works. *SHRUG*

For my IE, i put my homepage as about:blank without that space after about. It loads much faster this way.
