Re: Using Look in-Drop down takes long to open a folder

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Windows XP: Right-click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop or in the Windows Start menu, left-click on Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnect any mapped drives that are not currently available.

Windows Vista: Click on Start | Computer | Tools | Disconnect Network Drive, and disconnected any mapped drives that are not currently available.

I started having this strange problem with my Excel 2003. When I use the 'Open' dialog box from within Excel and click on the drop down for 'look in', it seems forever to bring the list of folders. Then when I try to open a folder it takes another minute or so. It was not doing this before. If I do not cllick on the drop down first and just click on the My computer icon I have smooth sailing. What went wrong here?? Please help.
