Slow logon, internet explorer branding

Hey guys, for a while i was battling with slow logons after upgrading to Internet Explorer 7. For a while i simply disabled internet explorer branding but for some customers it seemed important with the internet explorer branded. I got an email from Martin Jensen a really competent Citrix system administrator at a customer with a nice description on how to solve the problem, and with his permission i am passing it on to you guys here :)

Update: Jacob Berg from Application Delivery Consulting commented below that this hotfix from MS solved the issue for him: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941158

After updating to Internet Explorer 7 it is no longer a good idea to use the Internet Explorer maintainance in Group policies under Windows Settings.

However luckily Microsoft has already released the administrative templates allowing us to do the same modifications as we used to do with the Internet explorer maintainance options.

They can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=11ab3e81-6462-4fda-8ee5-fcb8264c44b1

After installing this the adm templates you will find the needed settings under Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Internet Explorer .

It can be a bit hard to find the settings we need as they have naturally been rearranged, but the settings should be there :-)

Thanx to Martin for supplying the information :-)
