Guest Frank Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 If I'm NOT connected to a network and double-click on a file the assoicated application quickly opens and the file is loaded and opened. When I am connected to a network (CAT5 or Wireless) and I double-click a file it can take more than 60 seconds for the assoicated application and file to open (these are very small files). It appears that after clicking on the file, the system searches for the application on the network then finally finds it on the c: drive. What wrong? How can I reconfigure Win XP to stop searching on the network? Note: I use two other Win XP systems that do not have this problem. I'm thinking this might be configuration problem. Thanks, Frank -- FWS
