When I open the printers dialog box and go to the properties of any printer, explorer.exe halts and then resumes. This shuts down the printer applet completely. This is an NT 4.0 box with Novell on the back end. Does anyone know why?

What service pack are you running? What kind of printers and how are they set up?

Could it be possable that it's scanning for printers across the network or checking the addresses against the network before opening up. What you're describing sounds similar to waiting for my computer to display everything while either the CD-Rom spins up or looks for mapped drives.
