Over the past week somnething seems to be bogging down my Explorer. When I
click to launch it takes almost a minute before I even see the application.
I can fire up Firefox in 2-3 seconds. Any ideas ???? I have not loaded
anything new on my system.

running SP2
 
I am having the same trouble. Seems to work ok once it eventually opens.
I have since downloaded Firefox but do not like it. I actually have two
partitions on my PC both running XP Pro and IE works as it should on 'D'
drive.
 
Try uninstalling the latest security update of Dec 13th. You need to go to
add remove programs and check show updates.
