No you're wrong.It's back at full speed because you re-installed Windows 8. It has nothing to do with the shortcut.
After clean reinstall of W8 in native format with no StartIsBack or any other hacked programs/apps ... on starting IE10, Google would take 8 - 10 seconds to open. The status message was: "Waiting on Google ..."
I was opening it using a desktop shortcut created from: C: drive --> Program files(x86) --> Internet explorer --> iexplore --> Send to desktop as shortcut.
And other web sites were on a parity in being slow to open.
I came across the "Quick launch --> Launch IE Browser" in AppData by chance, and sent it to desktop as shortcut, and hey presto ... snap crackle and pop!
Please explain? Cos I can't!
