Has anyone heard of any of the following issues when upgrading to XP from
W2k:
1. In "My Computer", when double clicking the icon, it searches for minutes
at a time, even if there is no cd in the drive. Not sure what it's looking
for but if I right click Start/Explore, it comes right up with no issues.
This search problem also occurs when using the browse option after File/Open
or File/Save operations.

2. This issue is with IE6. When using the address bar, if I type in an
address and hit enter or the small "Go" button, the browser does nothing.
There is no activity. When I hit the down arrow in the address bar to view
previous sites, the same delay problem occurs as with "My Computer". I did
download the Google toolbar and if I type an address in it, the browser goes
to the site and IE does update where it is at automatically.
