IE takes Long to Open Local Files

IE6 starts almost instantly and works perfectly online. However, when a
local file is double-clicked, IE takes over half a minute to open. Clicking
IE by itself opens it instantly again! But opening a local file from within
IE takes that half-minute again!

This happens after an online session. If the PC is restarted, opening local
files by double-clicking brings IE up instantly again. But if the user goes
on line and attempts to open saved pages thereafter, the delay happens
again!

This stand-alone Windows XP Pro (SP2) PC connects to the Internet on
wireless broadband (Verizon EVDO). PC checked for malware, viruses, system
inconsistencies, and updated with all MS releases. Apart from the updates,
no recent software, or hardware, changes have been made.

Regards and thanks for any insight.

The problem was resolved with local advice. Reinstalling Java with the
updated runtimes did away with the problem.

Thanks for reading my post.
