Q--Why is Outlook Express so slow at opening some news servers?

ActiveWindows -- Frequently Asked Questions - Internet Explo...
A--This is a problem for a number of people. Outlook Express 5 seems to have some problems opening news servers that have 25,000+ newsgroups. Some people make the mistake of saying that this must mean that your news server is just slow, but the problem has nothing to do with that, it is to do with the way Outlook Express opens up the list of newsgroups when you click on the specific news server. At this present time, there is no work around.

Q. Can I remove some or all of the UEA Newsgroups from Outlook Express News?

XP FAQ
The answer is no. Each time Outlook Express is started it refers to the ieconfig.ins file on the web server. As part of the default UEA Desktop all users will receive the UEA Newsgroups. There is no work around for this issue. When I attempt to logout after running Paintshop Pro 8 Windows complains that my Profile Size has been exceeded. This occurs because PaintShop Pro wants to store its cached files in the part of the user's profile that is copied back to the profile server.
