Very slooooooow File... dialogs in Office/Outlook 2003

E

eM eL

Why is navigating between drives and directories using any of the File... dialogs in
Office 2003 so slow? For instance, when I'm trying to insert/attach a file to a
message (plain text, HTML - no difference) the navigation between directories on my
local drives in the File Insert dialog takes forever - sometimes, literally, 20-30
seconds for each step!

The File... (Open, Save As, etc.) dialogs work fast in other applications, and
navigating between drives and directories in Windows Explorer is a snap but in Office
it takes forever! I have 2 local drives (C & E) with lots of free space, Windows XP
SP2, Office 2003 SP2 (but it was happening before install of SP2). This happens
regardless of the file size and/or kind. Ideas..?

I'm posting this in the Outlook newsgroup because it is most annoying in Outlook (I
attach files very often) & I don't want to crosspost.
TIA
