re: Slow Wednesday, November 6, 2002 at 4:34 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David Hyre (2 messages posted) I had the same problem in WinXP/SP1 + OfficeXP/SP2. After finding Chris' post, I deleted my inactive mapped network drives, and BINGO, the drop down was instantly much faster. Thanks so much! BTW, the right-click test didn't work to find offending drives in WinXP - all were fast. I just deleted them all, since recent ones are retained under "My Network Places" and don't slow things down like the mapped drives.
