Speeding up IE8

Here's a quick hack you can use to speed up IE8.

- Open a command prompt with elevated (admin permissions). In Windows 7, you can do this by going to the Start menu and navigating to "All Programs" > "Accessories" and then right-click on "Command Prompt" and selecting the "Run as administrator" option.

- With the command prompt open, run this command: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

- Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to confirm that you really need to do this.

Once the command is done, reboot your computer. Once you do, IE8 will be faster.
