Well, I'm not a Windows geek, but I've noticed the same thing ... but
it's the difference between my system at work (Win2k Pro) and at home
(still the old WinME). At home, Explorer (both Windows and IE) pop up
pretty quickly; at work, they're dogs. At first I thought it might be
that I needed to defrag my hard disk ... but have you ever tried that
with the default MS defrag utility? I'd look like one of those Halloween
ghouls by the time it finished. I did let it run over the weekend once
... but saw no noticeable speed improvement. So I chalked it up to a
slow network ... or a slow Dell ... or both. But now that you have the
trouble too on different hardware, perhaps it's just a Win2k quirk.
