When I open Windows Explorer, it defaults to My Documents. However, if I
click on My Computer it takes 20-30 seconds for My Computer to expand its
tree. It used to not take this long. What can I do to fix this?

And it's not just with WE, any time I have to do an open (windows office,
other apps, etc) where I can browse and I have to go to My Computer it takes
forever. This is regardless of how many network drives I have connected.

Thanks for your help.

Roger.
