file open very slow

[Huck Rorick]

With frequency (but not 100% of the time) when I do a File>Open, it takes
more than a minute for the dialog box to come up. Windows Explorer and
other programs show a list of all the files in this directory quickly
(although there are a lot of files: 2.2 GB in the folder and its subfolders.
the subfolders maybe have half this). Is this a known problem with Word?
Is there something I've got wrong? Can I fix this?

Thanks for any help,

Huck

Same answer as yesterday's identical question from you.
