I just emailed the report to your @XOX.mvps.org email address as it is
rather
large.

Can I have the report? Perhaps they're pointing to a network share /IP in
your domain?

Michael,

See if there are any invalid mapped drive references in your system. If
so,
remove them.

One map that is valid when I'm at work. I disconnected it but still delay.
I'll try a reboot as I noticed it was still in My Computer desite being
disconnected.


Do you have the right-click problem also, as indicated in the following
page?

Right-click is extremely slow only when Network is enabled:

Yes - right click is slow too. Programs open fine though - just files
don't
work. Everything works fine if I connect to work VPN or pull network
cable.
I
did the regScanner you suggested in your article but 521 results for "\\".
Didn't see anything too obviously wrong but lots of it was meaningless to
