Quick overview:
If you are using a provider that does not require a proxy server, Internet pages may not load until approx. 10 seconds after Internet Explorer is called up. The most prominent example of such a provider is America Online (AOL). We show you how to disable the search for proxy servers here:
Tuning Internet Explorer
1. Start Internet Explorer and click on Tools/Internet options.
2. Now switch to the Connections tab and click on the Settings button. Here, uncheck the box next to Automatic search of settings.
After clicking OK, the pages will also load much faster with AOL and similar providers.
NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
