Searched but cannot find a solution to this one!
Shortcuts (desktop/ program list) and attachment (emails- Excel/ Word
files) can take upto 3 minutes to open on my XP PC. During this time
the egg-timer appears and often the machine just feezes. Eventually
Word, or whatever, will open and things will carry on as normal.
I have tried opening some of the same files as macro/toolbar buttons
from within Excel/ Word and they are instantly opening.
These are local files- not those on the network.
This seems to affect M/Soft office files worst (Adobe are fine, for
example) and is not consistent. A Word template has just frozen my PC
for 2 minutes after clicking on the shortcut on the desktop, whilst a
Word file opened from explorer in seconds.
Any clues gratefully received!
