Saving Office Files with XP SP2

[j-andrew]

Ever since I upgraded to XP SP2 a little over a year ago, I noticed that when
I attempt to save a Word or Excel file (both created and received as an
outlook attachment), when I navigate down to the drive/folder that I want to
save the document in, windows hangs up for about a minute before it registers
the action. For example, when I hit the arrow button to expand my directory
tree, it takes about a minute before before it displays the available drives.
Same thing as I navigate through the folders. I'm using Office 2003 SBE, and
all the available updates have been installed.

Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop,
left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped
drives that are not currently available.
