After work, I disconnect my XP Pro laptop from the domain
and reconnect it to my domainless network at home. If I
don;t log out of the domain account on my laptop and log
into a local account, everything that I click on (Windows
Explorer, DOS Prompt, Run..., etc..) has a significant
delay before starting. I have to wait about 2 minutes
before the program starts up after I have click on it.
If I disconnect from my home network, it goes back to
running fast. It's like it's trying to fing the domain
controller with every command I issue or program I try to
startup.

Slow while opening "Look In" and "Save As" boxes
SYMPTOMS: when using a program such as Notepad that uses common dialog boxes
and clicking Open on the File menu and then click the drop-down arrow on the
Look In box or the Save In drop-down box in the Save or Save As dialog
boxes, you may experience a problem that takes several minutes before the
lists actually drops down.
That are some reasons for that delay: 1) if you have persistent connections
to network drives (for example, to drive Z) that are inaccessible for some
reasons, 2) if you are working offline with no network connection.
RESOLUTIONS:
1) If opening windows explorer take a long time also, make sure all network
connections are active. If not, disconnect no accessible network drives.
2) To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support
Services to obtain the fix.
3) Instead of connecting a persistent network drive to a network location,
add the network location to My Network Places.
4) Instead of connecting a persistent network drive to a network location,
use logon script to map the network drive with /persistent:no option.
