Another thing to watch out for is a default setting MS Outlook, if you
are running any MS Office programmes.  Go into Outlook and select tools,
options and then the journal tab.  Make sure the items in the bottom box
are not ticked, or your Outlook will be making copies of everything you
do, which considerably slows up opening, closing and saving documents
etc.
