A few clarifying points:
1. I have IE 6 and OE 6 and Windows XP Pro.
2. I regularly defrag and regularly delete IE files and cookies. My
temporary Internet files are limited to only 98MB.
3. IE opens from its icon in about 20 seconds; IE takes a full minute to
open from a link in an email in OE.
4. If IE is already open, clicking on a link in an email in OE opens a new
IE window which takes about a minute to open.
5. Clicking on a link in an email in OE freezes OE until the IE window opens
(about one minute).

I wouldn't mind IE taking so long to open if it didn't freeze my OE. This is
a new problem which I did not have before upgrading from 2KPro.

when I changed from 2KPro to XP. Any ideas...?
