office file browser broken

[Guest Fredrated]

When I take the file>open option for MS Office applications and try to

navigate to an existing office file, the file browser takes 3 to 4 minutes to

display a folder and file list. Then if I click on a drive letter or folder,

it takes another 3 to 4 minutes to display the new list. Nothing seems to be

cached, every click takes this long. Also, it is using a lot of cycles

because other applications hang while the new list is being generated.

 

Any ideas what is going on, or better, how to stop this behavior?

I think this started after a recent windows update, but I am not sure.

 

I am using XP service pack 2 and Office XP. Some Office apps are SP2, some

are just the original install version.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's probably registry corruption, check both links or possible solution.
