Using XP Proffessional on a laptop. I have my network drives for the office
all mapped and set to autoconnect. When I'm not in the office though (not
connected to the mapped drives) and I want to save a new Word/Excel document
to the hard drive the navagation through the directory tree to choose where
to save on my hard drive is very slow. Sometimes it can take several minutes
just to navigate to where I want to save the file. This seems to only happen
with MS Office programs. Should I be mapping my drives differently or any
other ideas?

thanks,
