Hi

Have just installed VS2005, when trying to open a file, project etc., the
'browse for' window takes a very long time to open a folder etc.
So much so that its unusable (30-40 seconds per folder level!), VS 6 etc
work just fine!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bob

Don't you just love it when you answer your own problems!

So just in case anyone else has the same problem - its VS2005 or at least
the component its using for the file browsing window seems to be checking
out all the mapped network drives (or at least some of them)- if these are
not connected one long wait. Strange thing is Explore itself works just
fine, and so do older MS programs (inc VS6), third party programs but not
MS Office products or VS2005.

Don't think they should have fired the testers they recently got rid of -
they are desperately needed!!!!!
