In addition to the others' comments, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 There

Hello to all! Does anyone know how I can prevent IE6 from automatically
"compacting" every so often on its own?

The problem is that every time it does this it takes forever to do it and
when it is done my entire computer runs incredibly SLOOOOOOOOOW!!

This is extremely aggravating to me! I don't know why it has this effect
on my computer but every single button click, selection or other action
after a "compacting" event responds in glacial time for at least the first
15 minutes or more for each program I open up!

Thank you,
