Windows Quick Fix

Windows XP
Microsoft Office Picture Manager takes a lot of time to load
Cause: Picture manager keeps track of the most recently used paths, and if any of these paths is no longer available (most if you have accessed a folder over the network, and you are no longer able to access that location.

Fix:
For windows XP, go to c: -> documents and settings -> username -> local settings -> application data -> Microsoft -> OIS

Open the file ‘oiscatalog.cag’ with  notepad and delete any line pointing to a remote location or delete that file as it is recreated upon starting the software again.

For vista, the path to that file is C:\Users\login name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OIS
