why does switching from one folder to another to save takes so mu.

[ross shariati]

when i prepare a document let's say in Word and try to save it it takes a
long time to switch from one folder to another. for example going from "my
documents" to Desktop takes a long time. does any one know what the problem
is?

Is this on a network? Are there disconnected mapped drives? Try unmapping
the drives and see if that helps. If you are not on a network, do you have
Norton AV installed and set to scan Office documents?
