I am able to navigate through my local c: folders and files and my network
drives by opening My Computer and double-clicking through. However, when I
go to Windows Explorer some of my C: displays and then it hangs. The same
thing happens in Office applications when I do a File - Open and hit the
dropdown to display the the folders. A virus and Ad-Aware scan both came up
clean. Any ideas?
