Outlook 2003

I configured OL2003 to start up in the OutLook Today folder. The 'Homepage'
for Outlook Today is C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\1033\outlwvw.dll/outlook3.htm.

I open/start Outlook to use it when I need to then exit the program when I
am done. I have noticed recently that when Outlook is started any time during
the day, the program loads very quickly but the time it takes to 'load', that
is to display the Outlook Today page requires a bit of an annoying wait. My
cursor changes to the Busy display while I wait.

After reading an older post here, I closed Outlook, renamed the Outlook
Today .dll homepage to .old. I then opened Control Panel\Add and Remove
Programs, selected Outlook 2003\Change\ and selected Repair Outlook. When
the repair successfully completed, the Outlook Today .dll Homepage was
replaced. However, the repair did not address my problem; the long wait for
Outlook Today to display.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It is a minor annoyance but a pebble in my
shoe nevertheless.
thank you...

Do you have many items and folders showing in Outlook Today?
Virus scanner that integrate with Outlook and in this case also Internet
Explorer (which is used in Outlook 2003 to render the Outlook Today page),
can slow this process down. Especially script scanners. Look in the
documentation of your anti-malware suite on how to disable/uninstall these
properly.
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20

Also, having a lot of Restricted Sites configured in your Internet Options
(tab Security) can cause a slowdown.
