Very slow opening attachments and opening directory to 'save to..'

To share Word 97 documents with those who do not have Word, download Word 97/2000 Viewer (Word 97) (Windows 95/98/NT). With the Microsoft Word Viewer 97/2000, Microsoft Word users can share documents with those who do not have Word and users without Word can open and view Word documents. This product also allows users who wish to post rich-formatted Word documents on the Internet to expand their online audience to people who might not have Word. This viewer also allows users to view and print documents created in the Word native file format, even if they do not have Word. Users are allowed to zoom, outline, or view page layout, headers/footers, footnotes, and annotations. Word Viewer 97/2000 includes the following features: - Online Layout View for easy reading of online documents, including those with background colors and textures - Document Map for point-and-click navigation through longer documents - Hyperlink navigation to open any hyperlink in a document with your installed browser The viewer does not allow users to edit files. However, it allows them to copy information from a document to other applications. Microsoft Word Viewer 97/2000 will follow hyperlinks located in Word documents. Word Viewer 97/2000 is built to automatically configure itself as a Helper Application for Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This allows users to automatically view Word documents that are linked to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages on a LAN or on the web in the user's default web browser. Word Viewer by itself can follow document hyperlinks on a LAN. This new capability allows users to browse rich document systems on a LAN in much the same way a web browser allows you to explore the Internet. This product is freeware.

TB! opens ACDSee as it should for me. I had a similar problem a while ago (Jan 2000), when TB! would open Word files with MS Word, when I had them associated with WordView to minimize the risk of macro viruses. Andrew Lovetski provided this insight (taken from the archives): Begin Quote from Andrew So, your problem is as follows: When a file is double-clicked in TB, TB performs Open command. Hence, WinWord is fired up with your file. When a file is double-clicked in Explorer, the Default command is executed (WordView in your case). Work-around: go to File Types dialog (in explorer), create a new command Open with Word and copy all stuff from Open command to Open with Word command (that is just create a copy of Open command - AFAIR, explorer won't let you rename the Open command). Then associate the Open command with WordView - that is copy all stuff from WordView command into the corresponding fields of Open command. Now the Open command will fire up WordView, and to open a file in Word you'll have to use the command Open with Word. Oh, and don't forget to keep the files with exported parts of your registry. Just double-click them to restore the system to the previous state, in case if smth goes wrong... HTH and Good luck... A question to TBUDLers: Should TB use the Default command (as configured on user's system) when double-clicking a file, or should it just open the file (that is always use the Open command)?
