File - Open - takes a really long time!

Hello,

I am using Office 2003. When I try to open a file, the open file dialog
comes up and when I click the drop down arrow in the Look In: field, it
takes a minute or two for the directory list to drop down. It never used to
take this long; however, recently, a dialog popped up and said something
about indexing or searching (I didn't read it very closely - but clicked the
OK button), then the next thing I know, every time I try to open a file, it
takes forever to get the directory list.

Any idea how to turn this feature OFF.

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
On your Windows desktop, double-click on My Computer. If you have any
mapped network drives or FTP servers that are not currently available,
disconnect them.
