IE 7 Tweaks?

Ever since I did a re format--IE 7 is running just a touch slower then usual. Not a huge inconvienience, but can anyone walk me through the settings or suggest a few tweaks that might make it a bit more snappy? I have high-speed cable internet.

IE7 is one of those Microsoft products that really can't be speeded up. It is what it is. You can turn off the anti-phishing. And you can do the usual cleaning of the system cache. Click tools > Delete Browsing History > click on whatever you'd like to delete. At a minimum temp files, cookies and history are always good to delete every so often. Old cookies or temp files can slow things down quite a bit.

Then there are some of the time saving things you can have IE7 do. Like automatically switching to new tabs. Click tools > internet options > general tab. In the tabs group (above appearance) click settings and in the new dialog box check the box next to "Always switch to new tabs when they are created". Keep clicking OK to back out.

A quicker way to open a link in a new tab is to hold down Ctrl when you click the link. You can also open sites from the address bar in a new tab. Type the address and then press Alt+Enter.

You can open multiple pages in a single IE7 screen and each page will have its own tab. But screen resolution might limit the total number of tabs you can see. So IE7 has a quick tabs feature which displays a thumbnail image of each open web page.
