Users who experience such a slow down will find a error in the system error log saying The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
The solution to this problem is quite simple. Just Open up regedit and search for the string {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} and modify the keys InProcServer32 and LocalServer32 default key to a empty string.

Excellent tweak worked as stated.
Outlook Express is now instant.
Thanks

I disabled Messenger using a tip found on the web, simply by
going to its folder in Programs and changing its name by adding
"disabled" onto the end of the name. This stops Windows from finding
it when it searches for it. But to use it again, all you do is go
back and remove the "disabled" from the filename.
Haven't had problems with Outlook Express, because I use Mozilla's
Thunderbird. You should try it.

Too technical without an explanation
