Re: Word documents open slowly from Explorer


Hi Cindy,

Are the files on your local drive or on a network drive?

Are there any mapped network drives that are not available or listed as 'Disconnected' under my computer? Those can cause a delay
in some cases.

If those aren't a problem, delete the .doc file type association then use

Start=>Run
Winword.exe /r

to recreate it and see what it now says.

Unless I made the chanes incorrectly, it made it worse. I then put it back to
original (or so I thought) and .doc files won't open from explorer or outlook
at all. I looked at the .xls extentions open command and duplicated them back
in the .doc extensions dialog box. Either I didn;t do it correctly or it's ot
the answer.

I appreciate your help, >>
