I have yet another small issue that annoys me everyday in our Terminal Server environment.

It seems when logging into Terminal Server users report the initial File | Open or File | Save As from within an application such as Word, Excel (2003 edition) is very slow to display the actual dialog box.

The dialog appears quickly but it is whited out (sometimes displays not responding in title bar) and unresponsive, it then sits like this for about 20-30 secs before popping into life and displaying all the folders etc.

The second time you go to save or open a file it loads almost instantly.

Any suggestions or similar problems out there?
