PROBLEM
Opening the extensions dialog box takes minutes.
The USEREXT directory contains a lot of data. When you open the extensions dialog box, ArcView checks this directory for extension files. If there is a lot of data in this directory, or sub-folders, it takes a long time for ArcView to look at all the files.
Note:
See the ArcView online help topic USEREXT for directions on how to set this variable.
