When I double-click a file of any size, 200k to 10mb, from any drive
(desktop, c:, flash, or network) I have a delay of anywhere from 20 seconds
to 3 minutes for excel to open the sheet. It will open the program normally
and then sit and wait.

If I open excel first and then use either open or the recent documents list
to open the file it snaps open immediately.

I have had this problem on a previous PC with bother 2003 and 2007 at
various patch levels.
