In the past month I have seen many people coming up to me asking to solve Internet Explorer (IE) loading problem. Even I too was facing a problem of hang-up’s while start IE in normal mode.

The problem behind this is the addon’s. IE7 is having some problems with addon’s. Actually its those add-on’s which slow down the computer not the IE. If we run IE without any add-on’s and without the ActiveX control, IE loads much faster.

Here are some measures to speed up your Internet Explorer:
1. Run Internet Explorer without Addon’s & ActiveX control:
This method will surely speed up Internet Explorer, as no addon’s or ActiveX content is loaded. (Remember: This will speed up IE but the sites may not load properly.)
How to run Internet Explorer without addon’s & ActiveX control:
a) Right Click anywhere on Desktop.
b) Point over “New” & select “Shortcut”
c) In the field, copy the below line exactly (with inverted commas):

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” -extoff

d) Then give that shortcut any name you want like “Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)”
e) Click on “Finish” button.
f) Run the newly created shortcut

Now the Internet Explorer will run without addon’s & ActiveX control.

2. Regularly update your windows: (Recommended for Vista Users)
This method is most effective for vista users. If the problem is not caused by add-on’s, this is only method you should opt for. As vista users are most suffering through this problem, updating will help them a lot.

The problem should be solved by the above methods. If vista users still face some problems try my previous post “Run programs smoothly in Windows Vista”.
