Anything in the event logs?

Is anything else slow on this PC, such as moving between folders or opening
files?

Why do you think this might be related to the onboard LAN? or is the My
Documents folder mapped to the server?

Hi everyone,
I can confirm that the problem seems to be resolved, though the solution is
somewhat unexpected.
The user concerned encountered trouble with exporting data in Excel, so I
decided to reinstall office. A couple of hours afterwards I was thanked for
having solved the deleting files delay.
However unlikely it seems, there must have been something astray in the
office 2007 install - or some system file that the installation repaired.
If anyone else finds that this helps them out, I would be very pleased to
hear about it.
Thanks everyone for your help.
