Outlook hangs when saving the attachment in C: drive

[Sweety]

When i open the .xls file from Windows Explorer, it works fine. But when i
try to open the same file from Excel --> File --> Open. The document stops
responding. and the PC hangs.

When i try to save the .xls attachment from Outlook to C:. Outlook stops
responding. But when i try to save the attachment in H: it works fine.

What could be the reason?

I assume this is for any attachment type and not just xls-files?
An unreachable mapped network drive could cause this type of delay.
