Excel is very slow to open

[Mathnutt]

I recently installed Service pack 2 for Office 2003 and now my Excel
documents take much longer to open. Can anyone help me correct this problem.

Try closing excel and cleaning up your windows temp folder--it might help and it
can't hurt.

windows start button|Run
%temp%
is a quick way to get there.

And here are a couple of sites that discuss slow performance. The first is by
Charles Williams and the second by David McRitchie:
