slow to open windows explorer

[jcsquish]

I have an issue with one of our new computers. It is a Dell P4 1gb ram, 2.8
ghz and is on a network. For the last couple weeks the client is complaining
that it takes a long time to open windws explorer, once in it is then slow
for the first few folders clicked and then seems ok. It actually takes about
40-60 seconds to open explorer. As i mentioned it is a new machine so
shouldnt have much crap on it to bog it down. I have 2 other machines
exactly the same that dont seem to have this issue. Any ideas on how to fix
this or what to look for?

Windows Explorer is part of Windows XP, not Office. Have you asked in the
Windows XP newsgroup?
