IE Going Slow? Uninstall Adobe Toolbar.

[Dan]

I'm posting this because my IE (which I use only when a website isn't compatible with FF or Chrome) has been taking forever too load for me.

What fixed it for me was completely removing the adobe toolbar from my system, which is no easy trick.
To do it in Win7 go to control panel in classic view>programs and features>adobe acrobat>uninstall/change>next>modify.  Click on "Create Adobe PDF" and change it to "this feature will not be available"

Ta-da!

Just curious... which sites aren't compatible of ff or chrome. I'm actually thinking of uninstalling ie.

Technically not possible if you're running windows

Chaikel: Why?

Because Windows Explorer, an integral part of Windows, runs on IE.
It may be different in Vista/7

You could manually dissect it.

In any event I already have all associations linked to FF,.However, Google desktop of all programs still opens in IE ....

What's your default browser set to?

FF

There are programs that will always send back to IE even if all htm(l) files etc are pointing by default to another browser.

I just wouldn't think that google would be one of them!

Should be a setting in GD

In XP? How?

Last time I did it was in my previous gilgul.

It involved add remove win components, and manually exterminate some files and registry keys.

If it doesn't remove windows explorer, then you can still browse the web w WE, which is IE in a different shell

Not exactly, as you might have a hard time using ftp from ie, but on explorer it work fine.

Furthermore, browsers such as crazybrowser, which uses the ie backbone, to function, run way faster, and would still run, even if ie has been defaced to the point where it wouldn't erun any longer.
