Speeding up SQL Server Management Studio Startup

SQL Server Management Studio typically takes a minute or so to start on my machine. I just figured it was a slow app, but then I saw it load much faster on another machine. Searching for a solution led me to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is too Slow (archive.org), which nicely solved the problem. Now it starts up in five seconds.

(As an aside, I use a hosts file from Steven Black's https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts to help block malware and adware.)
