word 2007 file dialogs very slow

[Sergei Shelukhin]

I recently had word 2007 installed and one thing that puzzles me is
that open file/save file dialogs are very slow.

THey even have a special progrerssbar window that says "Building root
folder list" or ssomething, and I get too see it every time I pop up
folders dropdownlist. Also, every time I browse to a folder where I
haven't been (counting from the opening of the current dialog instance)
it takes 10-15 seconds for Word to show the contents of the folder.
There are few files in my working folders, like 20 per folder, max, so
the file count is not an issue
File manager and dialogs in other programs show the same foldrrs
normally.
Is there any way to fix this?

Ok, I got filemon. Turns out every time I browse to a folder word
queries the whole subfolder tree with all the sub-subfolders (!!!),
making many r queries to each subfoilder, such as this:

18:23:59 WINWORD.EXE:4168 OPEN D:\workplace\current\apps\GDShell\gacinstaller\bin\ SUCCESS Options:
Open Directory Access: All
18:23:59 WINWORD.EXE:4168 DIRECTORY D:\workplace\current\apps\GDShell\gacinstaller\bin\ SUCCESS FileBothDirectoryInformation:

MORE FILES FileBothDirectoryInformation
18:23:59 WINWORD.EXE:4168 CLOSE D:\workplace\current\apps\GDShell\gacinstaller\bin\ SUCCESS

that's when I opened app folder, a part of ~3000 dimilar log entries.

Plus, there are a bunch of failed (file not found) queries to files
with strange names such as

18:24:01 WINWORD.EXE:4168 OPEN D:\workplace\current\ocf_QebiesnrMkudrfcoIaamtykdDa:$DATA FILE
NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All

Wtf??!! How do I turn off this crap?
