Martin,
Beautiful!!
Excel sheets now open approx 20 times faster. Before, took 40-45 seconds,
now, 2 - seconds. Many thanks. Where is Microsoft on this one? I suppose
they are busy repairing Vista and 2007.

Hi Robert!
I'm not sure whether this is going to help, but let's start from the
beginning.
1. Klick on the Start menu button in the lower left corner
2. Choose the Applications submenu and look for Windows Explorer
1.+2. Instead of 1. and 2. as described above, you may also press and
hold your Windows key and then press E
3. Now you should see an Explorer window,
and this window should have a menu bar
4. Choose the "Tools" menu
5. Look for anything remotely like "Folder Options"
6. Now you are ready for step 4. of my online instruction
This description can, however, be inaccurate for several reasons.
1. I wrote it down from memory, as I'm usually using Linux and only boot
Windows when I can't avoid to.
2. My Windows is all German, and although I was told that my
translations to english were correct, there might still be an error
there. I have seen a screenshot of the "Folder Options" dialog box,
so that's really its name, but the menu item might be called
differently.
3. This was for Windows XP, but I guess other versions of Windows might
have other versions of Explorer with different menu entries.
In case all else fails, you might well ask here on this forum about
where to find this dialog, for someone out there is bound to have the
same version of windows as you do and have located it.
Greetings,

Martin,
This is some time later than your post, however I have just started with the
verrry slow opening of 2007 excel spreadsheets. I'm running xp with Office
2007 upgrade.
I searched Discussion groups and found your reply. My problem is; Try as I
may, I cannot locate Menu item FOLDER OPTIONS (forgive the shouting) Could
you possibly start me from the beginning? It appears your fix works for all
who are smarter than me in getting to the right church.
Thanks in advance
Bob
