On my laptop I have 2 network drives mapped, and a network printer.  It 
works fine when connected to the network that these devices are on.  However 
if I go to a different network (eg home WLAN) then windows  explorer becomes 
almost impossible to use.  Every single time I click a folder or file the 
explorer window hangs completely for 10 or 20 seconds.

If I am not connected to any network, or I remove the two network maps and 
the printer, this problem disappears.  This makes me think explorer is 
somehow searching for these network resources, even when there is no chance 
to find them.

How do other people cope with this, I can't be the only one in this 
situation?
