Answer» Hello there
I saw this on a web site and decided to try it out
One more way to fine tune Internet. Explorer load time
If you do this little trick, application load time may improve significantly. Right Click on shortcut to Internet. Explorer in taskbar ( If you do not see it right click on taskbar,click toolbar and select quicklaunch) , click on properties and under shortcut tab look for Target field. It should say some thing like "C:\Program Files\Internet. Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE". This is typical default. I am suggesting you to put " -nohome" without quotes at the end of this string with one space in between. It should read like this "C:\Program Files\Internet. Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome. Doing this would help load the application quickly as time would not be wasted in connecting to home page again and again. This is good for normal use as well.
I tryed this out but i kept getting "invalid path" can this be done, or is there a mistake is this path.
This is from a site called xptune up, so it is for xp.... but maybe not for xp pro
Any ideas
What is Internet. Explorer? Is it not just Internet Explorer?
Get rid of that PERIOD in the target and try it.
Oh, and another thing, Windows XP = Windows XP Home, Professional, MC, ect... Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on November 20, 2008, 04:17:38 AM What is Internet. Explorer? Is it not just Internet Explorer?

All right, good.
Also, FED has a POINT. You can just set the browser's homepage to about:blank.
Otherwise, use Firefox. YES was just about to reply to that, completely forgot about doing it that wayQuote from: Fed on November 20, 2008, 02:02:14 PMYou could set your homepage to about:blank in the IE options.
