Re: HD busy with Office tasks

I'm not entirely sure, most of the files listed are library dll's so
possibly indexing is going on.

But then I go back to my original point; you say very few programs
installed, if that is the case, and Vista takes that long to load up,
something else is going on your PC

Thanks DL.

Here is a sample of the files that are reported as reading the HD for a
long
time:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft
shared\OFFICE12\1033\MSOINTL.DLL
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE12\MSO.DLL
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WWLIB.DLL
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\NLSMODELS0009.dll

My goal is to prevent Office to do anything at startup time. Any help will
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gabe.

Office does not load unless its configured to load an application at

What Office files is resource monitor referenceing?

I am running Office Professional 2007 on Vista Ultimate, 4GB RAM and
plenty
of hard disk with no fragmentation.

Once Vista finished starting up (7-9 minutes), any of the Office
applications load very fast. The problem is that I use Office rather
infrequently (nevertheless I still need it). At Vista startup the hard
disk
is extremely busy for several minutes (and thus making everything else
slow).
I noticed through Resource Monitor that the hard disk is busy attending
several Office files, both reading and writing millions of bytes.

My guess is that Office is configured to do a lot of cache stuff at
startup
time. Or maybe I am wrong. Nevertheless, the question is: Is it
possible
to
prevent Office to load stuff or whatever, automatically? I would like
Office
to do its stuff ONLY AT MY COMMAND, not at startup time. Because, there
are
many instances when I do not need any of the Office applications.

My Vista is otherwise very well tuned up and I have very few software
applications, only what I really need.

I would appreciate any orientation.

Gabe.
