When I attempt to Open a document on different laptop logical drive on the road clicking the “Look in” pull down bar from Word sometimes it takes two minutes for the drive list to be displayed. The first time I try to Open a folder located on a laptop drive it opens very slowly.
I have network drives mapped on my laptop for my office (6) and my hone (3). If I disconnect the mapped network drives Word opens the drives and folders very quickly. The problem appears to be related to the mapping of my network drives when not connected to the network.. Is there a way to keep the network mapping and keep the speed. When I am at the office and have disconnected the home network drives and the office network drives are mapped Word the folders open very quickly.
I know that I can create batch files to map and disconnect the network drives using desktop icons.
What others solutions do the savvy members of this forum offer?
Thanks for all you help.
