excel 2007 very long time opening items

Strange problem here.

Double clicking on an excel file from a cold start takes a very long
time to open and be ready for working in excel 2007.

A work around I have found is to open the application first, then
double click the file you want to open. It then opens immediately.

Anyone know why the program takes forever to open existing files from
a cold start?

Thanks!

Many people are complaining that Excel 2007 does not open a double-clicked
workbook at all. I've found two things, fwiw. First, if you do something
after Excel opens, like open the Options dialog and close it, the workbook
appears (not much of a workaround, I know). Second, if I do not have my
Personal.xls or any other auto-opening workbook available, then the workbook
appears immediately.

I hope this is on MS' fix list.
