Slow to open folders

[Eric]

When I am in office and I go to open or save a file, every
time I double click on a folder, there is a 15-75 second
delay before the contents appear. I have tried defraging
numerous times, and have noticiced that my swap file size
is over 500 megs! any suggestions?

Is this when you're browsing within a File Open Dialog in Office?
If you have Norton AntiVirus installed, try disabling the Office plug-in.

Please respond in the same thread on this newsgroup. Make sure you

or not you have included any service pack updates.

Have experienced a similar issue with the 'Open/Save...'
dialog box.

If the folders you are browsing are located on a network
share it might be worth while checking the following KB

from the "File Open" Dialog Box

Hope that you are able to resolve your issue
satisfactorily.
