Have you considered just switching to Firefox?

<font color=skyblue>Hey...I still have Firefox installed as a "backup" on my machine, but there is a lot of things that Firefox does that I do not like, and have not found a way to customize it yet to be equal to the performance that Explorer gives me.

Sure, there are a few things that I like about FF, but there are more negatives that keeps me from using it exclusively.</font>
