Workgroup templates open slow in MSOXP

J

Jared

Our workgroup templates open extremely slow in MS Office
XP. They are about 600 files totaling over 40 megs. They
are also broken up in 26 subdirectories.

It gives you an hour glass for about 14 seconds before
the templates come up.

This slow 14 seconds is the same whether pointing to it
by UNC or normal path.

On the other hand, it pops up immediately when the
directory is placed on the local computer and you point
at it instead of a network path. I tried it on NTFS and
FAT32 since I wanted to eliminate the indexing service
possibly being the reason for improved speed. It just
pops up in a blink real good.

This is true of many brand new blank templates authored
in MSOXP as well as our legacy templates authored in
MSO95 & MSO97.

All MSOXP service packs and hot fixes are up to date as
well and it still has this issue

Unless there is a fix I simply couldn't find, I think
MSOXP has a definite problem here that needs to be
addressed.

Thanks,

Jared
