Here's a quick tip for those of you that always find yourself anxiously waiting for Internet Explorer to start up.  Don't wait for it - use Chrome!   It is a faster browser.  With that said, I am actually going to help you improve IE's boot up time. Launch Internet Explorer. Go to the 'Internet Options' menu (Alt+T -> O). Click the 'Programs' tab. Click 'Manage add-ons' There will be a list of various toolbars, extensions, etc. that are add-ons to Internet Explorer.  You may need to scroll horizontally, but there will be a column labelled 'Load time'.

A few words of caution though:  Be careful that you don't disable antivirus plugins unless you're certain it's ok. If you've any question, problem, suggestion and feedback than please comment
