Mapped drive causing delay in Word when going "file > open"

Hi, I have got a mapped network drive to a server and it is working fine,
however every time I go to open an Office document like in Word, I
click File and Open, and the usual browse window takes a lot longer to
appear because it is trying to connect to my mapped drive every time.

Usually I do not want to save work in the mapped drive, so I really
want a way to force it to not connect automatically...

Any ideas would be really welcome.  thanks.

Paul

Under Word|Options change the file locations to use local folders.
