    Internet shortcuts don't open or open very slowly


    I have many folders on my Desktop with files linking to websites. Suddenly, about a month ago, my internet shortcuts from the files either don't open (blank page opens), or take a long time to open, or finally open after many clicks. The standard desktop icons, i.e., My Computer, Recycle Bin, etc. open normally, altho slowly. I have IE 11 as my default browser (I double-checked). I'm current on Win Updates.

    I don't think I changed anything on my pc, or added anything like new apps or progams recently. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi- In the past week or 10 days Firefox and IE8 have begun to open very slowly. My email program (Thunderbird) seems to be responding normally. I don't think that I've added anything to the computer other than Microsoft's Win7 updates. Can someone suggest a way to sort out and fix this problem? ...

Hi all: W7 Home Prem. on Dell XPS, quad core, 4GB. I'm pleased with W7 except that windows seem to open rather slowly, whether maximizing or minimizing, or just opening/closing programs. It's like two seconds; no big thing except I'd prefer they snap open and close as they did in Vista. ...
