Starting OutlookExpress or Explorer6

I have an icon down on my bottom bar to the left next to the start button.
When I click to start IE or OutlookExpress it will take from 30 seconds to
maybe two minutes to start to bring them up on the screen. I don't hear my
hard drive trying to work or anything. Once it opens everything seems to
work fine.
I have several shortcuts next to these icons on my bottom bar and on my
desktop and when I click on them it will start to take me to these site
immediately.
Any ideals? Thanks
 
Ron, I am running McAfee and could have done what they say, but I am running
Windows XP. Thanks
 
I done a serch for the file Imagehlp.dll and found two. One in
C:\Windows\System32 and one in C:\Windows\ServicepackFiles\i386
They were both modified 8/4/2004
Thanks

Leave them alone.

Don't store messages in the default OE folders. Move them to folders that
you created as soon as possible.

Compact your folders regularly while working offline.
 
I only have 5 messages in my OE folder and my wife doesn't have any. I store
my messages I want to keep in a subfolder I made.
I did what the first message said about removing the two files of Messenger
from my HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT files. Didn't seem to help.
I'm thinking back now and also several months ago my computer started to act
like this, when I move my mouse to stop my screensaver it takes a long time
for that to act too.
 
You still haven't said if you have compacted your folders. You seem to want
to avoid this for some reason. Also run a Defrag.
