Hello,
I am running WinXP Pro with Word XP.
When I double-click on a .doc file
it takes 60 seconds or more to open
Word and additional time to open the
document.
When I drag the same .doc file onto a
shortcut to WINWORD.EXE, Word and the
document opens almost instantly.
What can I do to fix the double-click
sloooooowness?
Thank you.

This may be just something as simple as needing to reregister Word in
Windows. Use Start, Run and type in
winword /r
and press OK. Let us know if that resolves the problem.
