Speeding Up Internet Explorer 8
The problem, in most cases, is the presence of IE restricted sites and enhanced security configuration zones, which are generally created automatically by spyware removal software, such as Spybot and IESpyAd. Traditionally, the presence of these entries has been hugely beneficial, offering protection against malicious software. However, Internet Explorer 8 includes new security measures that may obviate the need for these entries, and the browser can suffer a tremendous speed hit in their presence.
The fastest and easiest way to remove these entries and dramatically increase Internet Explorer 8’s speed is to use the DelDomains package. Right click on this link and save the file to your desktop. Next, right-click on the downloaded file (DelDomains.inf) and select “Install.” The package will remove all Internet Explorer restricted sites, enhanced security configuration zones and trusted sites.
Alternatively, or in addition to the above fix, you can try registering actxprxy.dll, a process that has improved Internet Explorer 8’s performance for a handful of users.
Click the Start button then search for “CMD.” Right-click cmd.exe and select “Run as Administrator,” then type regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and press return. Quit then re-launch Internet Explorer 8 and check for improved performance.

Why does my Windows Explorer not run as administrator?
In Windows 7 & Vista, the User Account Control is enabled by default, to run in Admin approval mode. Windows Explorer or explorer.exe is also set to run in the standard user context. Even if you right-click on explorer.exe, and select “Run as Administrator”, it will still run in the standard user context.The problem is caused by the fact that User Account Control can only elevate an application to a higher token when it is launching a new process. It cannot elevate an existing process.
When any user logs on, Windows Explorer is already started in the standard user context. It is always running in the background in order to display your desktop and it cannot be elevated because Windows Explorer is already an existing process. Windows Explorer was not designed to follow the User Account Control Guidelines for applications that “expect” to run in both contexts: Standard user context and Administrator context. CMD.exe utility is an example of an application designed to follow User Account Control Guidelines to be run in Standard user context and Administrator context.If you do not want to be prompted, you can change the security policy setting Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode” to “Elevate without Prompting”, recommends KB2273047. You can also disable User Account Control (UAC).Anand aka HappyAndyK is an end-user Windows enthusiast, a Microsoft MVP in Windows Desktop Experience since 2007, and the Admin of TheWindowsClub.com & WinVistaClub.com.
