Default Slowness When Opening XLS File

Hi!

A user at one of our clients is using Excel 2003 on a Win XP Pro PC.
Recently she started experiencing slowness when opening XLS files.
After double-clicking on an xls, it takes about 10 secs for an hourglass
to even appear. Then it takes about another 5 secs for the file to open.
If she opens Excel first, it opens in a flash, and opening an xls from
within Excel is instantaneous also. I've checked the folder options for
file type assignment and didn't see any obvious problems there.
Any ideas??

Thanks,
Tom
