Re: Documents and Programs slow to open by double clicking icon.

Mark,

Have you scanned the HKCU hive as well? Apart from that I don't have any
idea why this happens. Perhaps you can study what's happening in the
background, using RegMon from www.sysinternals.com

Thanks for the reply. I ran the regscanner and found two obsolete network
shares that I did remove from the registry. Unfortunately, this had no
impact
on the performance since these shares have been changed for sometime. One
thing I did forget to mention not sure if it would have any impact is that I
am running XP Pro SP2. Also, I did install two programs during the vicinity
of when the problem began to occur. I installed an older version of WinAmp
and CutePDF. I have removed the programs since then with no change. Could a
DLL been overwritten with an older version?

Thanks for any further assistance.
