Picture Manager suddenly slow to launch

minutes) grabs rest & launches

You to.. I just started to have this problem. Have you figured anything out
with it.

I fixed it long ago - cannot even remember how for sure - pretty sure a disk
defrag made some difference
OH - make sure you do not have too many pictures in My Pictures - create
subfolders instead - that was it I am quite sure

James (and Jim),

The solution is to edit the OIScatalog.cag (just an XML file) located in
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourprofile>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\OIS.

Locate tags that begin with "mru path". Delete any that point to bad or slow
locations.

That fixed.. Thanks for the help.. Wonder why MS KB's don't have a article
for this.

Hi Guys,

I have located the OIScatalog.cag but how do you open it to edit it?
