I experience a very slow File Dialog mainly within Microsoft Applications. If
I want to open or save a file in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint in a different
directory than the current one it takes up to 1 minute to switch directories.
(Same if I try to save attachments out of Outlook)
This happens with both, local drives as well as network drives. I experience
this on my two XP SP2 machines, both pretty new installed (<1month and
<6month). I run defragmentation on a regular basis.
I'm also running a W2K machine as well with Office 2000 and there I don't
have this experience at all.
All machines are running Norton Antivirus but even if I turn it off, no
change in behavior.
If I open a Windows File Explorer or a Command prompt I can switch between
directories without any delays, regardless if local or remote access is
involved.
I was reading in other posts about the magical 70-100 files/directories per
folder rule. I checked this and so far this does not apply to me. I have less
than that.
Any Idea?
