Troubleshoot Slow Load Times
If Internet Explorer 8 starts to load more slowly than normal this is a good place to determine why. You can view how much time is taking to load under the Load time column.
If you find one is taking more than an appropriate amount of time to load you can disable it.
Sometimes other Add-on features won’t work if it one is disabled and you and can cancel the operation if you want.
Disabling an Add-on is only temporary and you can easily re-enable one by going back into the list and Right-click Enable.
If you haven’t upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 yet, it is included with Windows 7 and this should help you out in managing its Add-ons feature.
