MS Outlook / MS Word Hangs on Insert File Dialog
I couldn't figure out what was going on with MS Outlook. Every time I tried to attach a file to an email, Outlook would hang up for some time. This is when you wish you had some magical application that would say "show me what you're doing right now, computer". But I googled and found this post. They seem to indicate that invalid drive mappings could cause this behavior. So, I checked and sure enough, I had about three network drive mappings in Windows Explorer that couldn't be resolved. So, I disconnected every network drive mapping that wouldn't resolve. Hopefully that will solve my problem.
Update: Yep. That fixed it. :)
