Favorites Windows slow down Internet Explorer dramatically
I am having this strange problem here. One of our users is experiencing slowness in Internet Explorer. What I noticed is that when she open the Favorites Windows and access her favorite links within the browser Windows, IE will be getting slower and slower, not just accessing web but other functionality of the IE as well. If she access her favorites using the menu, then everything seems to be fine. The favorites folder is around 9k in size and nothing looks suspicious.
Any idea?

IE is on a Windows 2000 terminal server and IE 7 won't run on it.
I did reset it to the default setting but it didn't help.

I will give this a try over the next few days.

This seems to be happening with all IE6 profiles. I removed all favorites from a folder as a test and it still remains slow when using IE with the favorites window open. When selecting favorites from the drop down toolbar everything works great.

UPDATE: The problem seems to be Symantec realtime protection. When this is disabled IE can run with the favorites window open. As a test I re enabled realtime protection and added the favorites folder to the exclusions but no luck. It still runs really slow. Any ideas? The version of Symantec is 8.1.0.825.
