to improve IE8's startup time, see here - http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft...566ac1ee9b

more specifically, mvps.org's DelDomains.inf...

Nice find . Thanks ProxRocks !

i certainly hope more people stumble upon it...

the rendering engine of ie8 is a MAJOR improvement, but the startup time is certainly a buzzkill and will no doubt have users returning to their ie7's or ie6's...

There is also this possible fix: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=754&tag=nl.e539
Specifically, re-registering a dll (the command: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll).
Disclaimer: I don't use IE8.

that didn't seem to work for me...
reverting to DelDomains fix (until something better comes along, as this method puts my SpywareBlaster and Spybot immunizations at half-mast)...
