Brilliant!!!!! I can't believe it. Two crappy drive mappings connect to a printer that got setup when the drivers were installed. Now everything works perfectly. Maybe I should suggest this to the Microsoft support pages I've been looking at for ages. Doh!

I can't believe this fixed it. I couldn't save anything, because the root folders were never actually found (it just kept trying). I disconnected a network from the printer, and that did the trick. Thanks!

Awesome! Worked perfectly.
I had deleted some of them, based on another post, but after seeing yours, I deleted all links in the network neighborhood and it worked!
Thanks.

Thanks, this fixed my problem. I had mapped drives at the home office and they didn't work now that I was away.

Thank you for this fix, it was driving me mad each time I was trying to save any office files. Must say that our technical people did not know how to help me which is rather sad. Thanks again will pass this on to other people with this problem.

I have a simple laptop with no network drives.
Do you have any idea on what else might be causing the "initializing folder" message and associated problem. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks for the fix. This problem in my situation was down to mapped drives to a desktop that had been shutdown. After disconnecting the disconnected mapped drives, the problem was resolved.

Also something of note, if this is happening on a TS session, check to see if redirected drives from the local machine are causing the issue. That is what is was for me.

I am a developer and I clearly understand networking. I get the same error on a Windows XP machine, "Initializing the root folders to display” and the file open dialog hangs. After several seconds the folders appear.

At one time I assummed a service might be killed, becasue I had once experieced this issue and restarted the Windows Search Service and it fixed this in a previous version of office.

I have unmounted, remounted all my network drives. Using the run menu I have run \\servername\share - this opens Fast and OK.

What I do have is built in memory card readers on this machine which I cannot un-mount and when the file dialog does come back it appears to complaint about one of these drives.

Anyone have any ideas how to address this?

Thank you so much! Our help desk fixed the problem for about a day but never told me what they did and obviously didn't fix it. I just disconnected all drive mappings not needed & problem has resolved.
