Is your Internet Explorer 8 opening slowly? Fix found.
I have noticed IE8 opens very slowly on some computers. Once open it runs ok, except if you try and right click and open another window.
If you have ever installed Spybot you almost certainly have the problem.
Here's the fix:
1. Open regedit
2. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap
3. Delete the following sub-folders: Domains, EscDomains, Ranges
4. Go to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\P3P
5. Delete the sub-folder History
6. Repeat steps 2-5, but in HKLM.
It's been tested on over 10 computers and has never failed to immensely speed up IE8.
I am trying to write a progam that will do this automatically and posted for help on doing it in this thread:

Those are the Hosts files etc that Spybot installs that helps users to avoid sites that can harm their computer.
