Office documents opening very slowly

Office documents (Word, Excel, PPT) are opening very slowly (1-2 minutes or
more) on my PC when I open them by double clicking an icon in a folder or on
the desktop. If I open the application first and then open the document
using the File -> Open menu the document opens very quickly.

I'm using McAfee antivirus software and have found no settings that seem to
affect the problem. (I noticed that Norton was causing a similar problem for
some people.) I even turned McAfee virus scan off completely and still had
the problem.

I've cleaned up and tuned everything I can think of. Any ideas?
