we had this issue slowing down our IE. It could be a recent adobe flash update, if you log in with admin rights, add user write permissions to these folders and see if that cures it. Give full permissions for everyone to the following 2 folders:

 

C:\programdata\adobe

C:\ Windows\system32\macromed\

Yes I had the exact same issue when running IE9 with with a version of Flash 11.6 - I followed the advice posted by dksniper above and it sorted out the speed of pages loading.

 

When I logged in with an account that had admin rights, the speed was fine, so it was definitely the access rights that fixed it.

cool will give that ago... is there any where in GP i can do this - as it seems to be effecting everyone - and doing this on over 1000 PC is going to take me some time

 

thanks

A few months ago we noticed a problem with slow loading of pages. we disabled Protected Mode in Internet Explorer, that seemed to speed it up.

yes in group policy go to computer config\policies\windows settings\security settings\file system for windows 7 we have %allusersprofile%\adobe and C:\ Windows\system32\macromed\ we added authenticated users will full control of these folders

Create batch file with following script

 

if exist c:\macromed.fix goto end

 

cacls c:\windows\system32\macromed /e /g everyone:f

cacls c:\programdata\adobe /e /g everyone:f

echo done > c:\macromed.fix

 

:end

 

Then GPO – “Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Scripts/Startup/*Point to .bat file*
