Very slow opening files

[zachms]

I have been working on an issue for a while with excel, both 2003 and
2007, where excel is taking a very long time to open when I double
click on a file. If I open excel and then open the file it is
instantaneous. If I open the same file by double clicking on it in
explorer, it took 20 seconds to open. This is a 31k file that is
nothing more than a list of contact information and passwords. This is
happening on a brand new dell optiplex gx 510 with 1gb of ram. It is a
fresh install of XP Pro and Office pro. Please help....

Thanks,
Zach

I took a look at his site. It doesn't have anything that has helped
me. I have been searching for several days and trying all sorts of
tips and tricks to get this working better. As I mentioned, this is
happening now on a brand new pc that has never been used. I created a
spreadsheet with two cells of plain text just to create a local file.
It still takes over 20 seconds to open that file. I can not seem to
find out anything. I am about to try and call Microsoft.

Advanced Settings, make sure Automatically search for network folders and
printers is unchecked. click apply then close. You may have to reboot.
