You do not have to MAP the drive of the client PC to share or transfer
files.
The delay, as you found, goes away when you Delete the Mapped drive because
XP no longer has to search for something that isn't there!

The delay is between 1-2 minutes each time. : Eventually, the application will start again, but the delay is troubling. : : If I disconnect the drive in the desktop, then Office is back : to normal.

I had the same setup on the old computer and did not have this : problem. Both machine were running WinXP with all updates, and Office : 2003. So, I'm still trying to figures out how to maintain the drive : mapping without experiencing this delay. I would like to be able to just : plug in the laptop as before and have all connections there! : : Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issues.
