I have got many complaints from friends and other people online that Internet Explorer is very slow. So if you are one of those frustrated guys out there, just follow the following tweak and who knows, it might make up your mind from not shifting to another browser.
Open RUN (XP users have the option in the Start Menu, Vista users just type RUN in the search) and type REGEDIT in the box provided.
Now navigate to the following directory : HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Restrictions
Create A New DWORD Value Names ‘x’ (See Complete List Of Values Of ‘x’ Below) And Modify Its Value To 1 To Enable It And 0 To Disable It.
List:
NoBrowserClose:Disable The Option Of OF Closing IE.
NoBrowserContextMenu:Disable Right-Click Context Menu.
NoBrowserOptions:Disable The Tools/Internet Options Menu.
NobrowserSaveAs:Disable The Abilty To Save As.
NoFavourites:Disable The Favourites.
NoFileNew:Disable The File/New Command.
NoFileOpen:Disable The File/Open Command.
NoFindFiles:Disable The Find Files Command.
NoSelectDownloadDir:Disable The Option Of Selecting A Download Directory.
NoTheatere Mode:Disable The Full Screen View Option.
If you disable the features you never use, I bet that it will make your experience of using IE better.
