excels slows when changing directories

[ALBERT GOZLAN]

I have been using Excel successfully for many years but I have com
across a problem in the last few days. Since I have my pricing sheet
in one directory and presentations in another, I am constantly changin
from one to the other. Lately I am getting a 5-10 second delay eac
time I try to go from one to the other. How do I eliminate this dela
and go back to the instant switching I was used to. I change from fil
to file by going to the "look in" window and switch from there. It use
to just diplay the other directories and I would click on the one
wanted. Now the delay of 5-10 seconds takes places when I click on th
"look in" space and then it gives me what I want after the delay.
would appreciate any help from anyone on this issue as it is costing m
a lot of time and is very frustrating.

Thank You
Alber

Hi Albert

have you by any chance recently installed Google Desktop?
There have been many instances reported where this slows things down in
Excel.
If you have, try un-installing it and see if that improves matters.
