OE takes much longer to open word and excel attachements than any other
attachment. Why is this?

It has to evoke Office and run it to get the files opened.

Word and Excel files also can be scanned for viruses before they open.

Powerpoint attachments for example do not take half the time as excel and
word attachments.

Powerpoint must be better written then. VBG

I don't know what it could be. You might try clearing the Temporary
Internet Files in IE and choose to delete all offline content. Office has
its own area under there and I think that will clear up the office TIFs as
well. That could be one source of delay. You might also try a defrag and
see if that helps.

If you save the attachments to disk, do they open faster for PPT then and do
the others open slowly, or is it only when opening the attachments do you
get the delays?
