Open Office Document dialog

When I click the Look In drop down in the Open Office Document dialog in
Office 2007 a message box opens saying "Initilalizing root folders for
display". This takes several minutes and often doesn't complete. However if I
select the "My Computer" icon on the left the folder tree opens immediately.
This alos happened in Office 2003 but without the message box appearing.
I'm on a corporate network with several mapped network drives.
How do I fix this?
Thanks.

Sounds like a network configuration problem that you need to speak to your
IT staff about. It can happen if they moved the Templates folder, moved
around mapped network drives, or unmapped network drives.

It would be best to start there for troubleshooting since it seems to work
instantaneously when working from your local drive.
