Hi Tim,

Your scenario seems a little complicated... currently we are perform some
research on it.
We will reply here with more information as soon as possible.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Tim,

    I understand that you have 25 projects in an SLN, on a subst drive
that is checked in VSS.  Opening any files not in the projects opens with a
delay of ~50 sec, right?

Please try this to see if the problem happens:
1.  Create a new project on c:\ and try to open a file outside the project
and see?

    You tested with an unmanaged C++ proejct and open up a file not in the
project and it opens instantaneously.  I have some follow up questions:
    1.  is this c+ proecjt on the subst drive?
    2.  is it checked into source control?
    3.  if any of the above  is no, can you try adn create a new project
adn set it up the same way as the first scenario adn test to see if it
repros?

Also, here are somethings that might cause the problems that you can check:
1.  Check to see if you have any addins installed:  Tools->Addin Manger
    Usually addins do not fully integrate with the IDE so can cause some
problems.
2.  Antivirus software, it can delay the loading of files, so you can try
and disable antivirus
3.  Try running filemon and check to see what is holind up the loading of
the file.  Here is a link to get it with instructions:
    http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml
    a.  you can zip up the txt file the log generated and attach it to
this thread and I can help look at it

By the way, I noticed that you mentioned your batch file is used to copy
the built assemblies to a specfic location.  Since you are using VS.Net
2003, there is a feature added called pre and post build steps.  Here is a
good location for you to add the copy steps on a post-build event.  I do
not know if you are awrae of this.  this will make your project more
portable and not dependent on the bat file.  I have included some steps
below that will illustrate:

Build Events, Common Properties, <Projectname> Property Pages Dialog Box
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cscon/html/vcurfcustombuildeventscom
monpropertiesprojectnamepropertypagesdialogbox.asp?frame=true

Here is how you can set commands to copy to a common directory:
    a.  Create a shared common directory, and in that directory, create
subdirectories that correspond to the type of configuration you may have,
debug, release, etc...
    b.  Then in the Post Build Event, add the following command:
          xcopy /s /y "$(TargetDir)$(ProjectName).*" "c:\Common
Directory\$(ConfigurationName)\"
          //////I use double quotes on all paths just incase there is a
space in the directory name, or you can add commands from your bat file
    c.  This command will copy all project files to the correct directory
depending on the build configuration name.
    d.  a temporary bat file will be located in the projects build
directory that you can view and edit

Hope this helps,
