Hi:

My Office XP (all updates applied) was working just fine till last week.
Since then, when I try to open a new document or save a document, MS Word,
Powerpoint and Excel take upto 10-15 seconds to open the directory tree in
the save/open dialog window. When I change to a subdirectory, I have to wait
again. If I go up the directory tree and coming back to the already-explored
subdirectory, I don't have to wait. All other applications on my computer are
working OK without this kind of problem.

Any pointers will be helpful

Thanks
Jaswant
