I had mapped drives to a my portable computer. The directory appears slowly when the portable was not connected to the network.

>I have a Windows 2000 desktop/server network, upto date with all service packs.
>
>On my desktop computer any program that calls up a directory tree, PowerDesk , Word save as, etc. takes about 20 seconds to display the first time it is called.
>
>This only happens only on my desktop, no other computer.
>
>I checked and I do not have a reference to the floppy disk or the CD-ROM in a path or in the Run dialog.
>
>This is a new development. We loaded Win 2000 at Christmas and it ran fine until yesterday.
>
>Thanking you in advance ...
