Hi Guys,

I'm like Boris and several oher people around me (like my brother in law).

Under windows xp, from file explorer for each excel or a word document (.xls
or xlsx or .doc or .docx) you open by double clicking on, it take a
ridiculous long time to open the document.

Same things happens from outlook when opening an excel or a word document
attachement from a mail.

The document opening is so long that word or excel have time to open
(without any opened document), and the you even have time to open the the
document by the open comand + browse to the document, etc...

What is this coming from? I cannot imagine Microsoft is not aware of such an
issue, and is not proposing anything against it.
Seems this happens from both office 2003 or 2007 (I'm running off2007)


For you information, I'm a computer scientist engineer, with 12 years
professional experience, so what is discribed here is not just a mis-use of
MS-Office or windows, but a real issue which started to happen few weeks ago.

Many thanks in advance for any serious help you could think of.
I would be so gratefull get rid of this problem....
