BINGO!!! Thank you Dr_Insanity. The system experiencing this problem did not have the Kodak Easyshare software installed on it. After following instructions to disable DDE on XLS and DOC files, these began opening *very* quickly whenever I double-clicked a DOC/XLS document directly from Windows Explorer.

Interesting side note... As mentioned, after I disabled DDE I opened DOC and XLS files successfully. When I went back into the "Edit File Type --> Open --> Edit" I noticed that the check reappeared in the checkbox next to "Use DDE". So the system apparently added that check again.

Regardless, the documents continued opening quickly, as expected.

Thanks Again!
