Post subject: Very slow File Open/Save Dialog

I experience a very slow File Dialog mainly within Microsoft Applications. If
I want to open or save a file in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint in a different
directory than the current one it takes up to 1 minute to switch directories.
(Same if I try to save attachments out of Outlook)
This happens with both, local drives as well as network drives. I experience
this on my two XP SP2 machines, both pretty new installed (<1month and
<6month). I run defragmentation on a regular basis.
I'm also running a W2K machine as well with Office 2000 and there I don't
have this experience at all.
All machines are running Norton Antivirus but even if I turn it off, no
change in behavior.
If I open a Windows File Explorer or a Command prompt I can switch between
directories without any delays, regardless if local or remote access is
involved.
I was reading in other posts about the magical 70-100 files/directories per
folder rule. I checked this and so far this does not apply to me. I have less
than that.
Any Idea? |

Open My Computer and right click on and select disconnect for any drives
that are unavailable.

I have the same problems as Ollie, but when I open My Computer and do right
click on the screen, there is no select disconnect for any drives that are
unavailable. I tried searching in help with the word "disconnect" and was
not able to come up with any similar resolution. My slow file, open seemed
to happen after I updated .net 2.0. Any other suggestions for speeding up
the "file, open" dialogues? Thank you.

Do you have drive that are identified as unavailable? If so, you right
click on the drive, not "on the screen".

Sorry for delay in responding. No there's no drives identified as unavailable.

Then the inaccessible mapped drives time-out is not causing your
problem. You may wish to start your own thread about your problem, and
be sure to list what you have (versions of office) and what you have
checked and any other pertinent info like error messages and the like.
That way others may see it and may have an answer.
