Slow access to specific network folder

[SjrH]

I have a user who experiences very slow access to a specific network folder. The folder only contains about 20 word and excel files, none of which are very big.

It takes minutes to open this folder, and if the user right clicks on a file, it can take 15 minutes for the options to appear.

This only affects the single user so i'm sure its not the server, and only this one folder.
If I move the folder or copy the files somewhere else, the problem remains.

Do you experience the same issue from your PC or direct on the server?

No, I can access the folder with no problems, as can a few hundred other people!

Likewise, on the server it is also fine.

What happens if this users logs onto a different computer then attempts to access the same network folder? Is the problem isolated to a single computer, or a single user? If a single computer, you may want to investigate that computer's network connection.

Have you tried removing the user from the Domain, and removing the machine likewise, then rejoining them to see if that helps?
