Slow file opening

[Ozan KÖKSAL]

Hi,

I cannot open files with double clicking properly. When I double click a
file (txt, xls, doc, etc...) system waits about 30 seconds then file opens.
If I open application and then call the file from "File/Open" there is no
problem, file opens quickly. Also I determined that if I unplugged the
network cable everything get well, no problems with unplugged network cable.

Windows XP Pro SP1 EN (Joining to a domain.)

Any ideas?

Thanks & Regards

i'm using WinXP Pro SP2. this happens to me too. in fact, it happens to few
other home-networked computers, and also my virtual pc.

apart from slow opening of file, right-click also takes long time for menu
to pop-up.

any idea why?

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers -

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

Right click causes an error and crashes Explorer.exe after installing
Windows XP SP2 - http://www.winxptutor.com/sp2/divxcrash.htm

Manage the context-menu entries for folders, drives and Namespace
objects - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/context_folders.htm

Did you simply delete from the registry entries that started with \\?
