Make your IE8 Even Faster with Simple Tweak

I have been using IE8 ever since it came in beta and RC and I have loved it ever since. I must admit I also have been using Firefox before that primarily because of all the features were better in Firefox along with its addons.

But Microsoft has taken tremendous amount of effort to bring the standards in IE8 as they have been trying with Windows 7 also. If you read the article from PCWorld, you will realize that IE8 is indeed faster than Firefox but its too hard to notice the difference. So the browsing speed of IE8 has undergone some major changes and yet with a simple tweak you can increase the speed even better.

So how to make IE8 browsing faster?

All that you have to do is re-register a dll file as pointed out by Ed Bott from zdnet.

Run command prompt with administrator rights (Just right click cmd in Start and click Run as administrator) and type

Code:

regsvr32 actxprxy.dll

Restart your system and you should find a difference in the browsing speed of IE8.

I did experience huge improvement in some pages and relatively better performance in other pages.
