MS WORD launches slowly due to IE local security setting in registry

Z

When I launch MS WORD I see from Reg Mon (by System Internals) that
WOERD will not launch quickly because it is spending tens of seconds
looping through the registry checking the following key and its
associated subkeys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones

There is an article by Miscosoft called:
"How to strengthen the security settings for the Local Machine zone in
Internet Explorer"
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833633>.

This article suggests that the reg key I give above is for local user
security settings.

Does this mean I can delete this reg key and let security defualt to the
machine settings?

I am hoping that WORD will then not get stuck on the looping that I see.
