Speeding up IE 8

I finally got tired of the “Connecting…” message and associated delay when starting Internet Explorer 8, and did some searching. This worked for me; your mileage may vary. No warranties.

In IE 8:

Tools/Manage Add-Ons
Toolbars and Extensions

Select Java™ Plug-In 2 SSV Helper
Disable (OK if disables other helper)
Close

Tools/Internet Options
General
Under the “Tabs” section, click Settings
When a new tab is opened, open: A blank page
OK

These were two of the links that helped me find this info:

Good tips! I also recommend disabling all add-ons with more than a 0.2 second load time, (most add-on toolbars)
