Thunderbird hangs whenever I try to add an attachment.
I'm running it on Windows XP.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start up Thunderbird
2. Compose an email
3. Click "Attach"

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird hangs

Expected Results:  
Should have gotten the choose-attachement dialog.
Sorry about this.  I'm still a novice on Windows.  The "hang" was apparently
because I had an old, unused, desktop shortcut to a folder on another computer
via the local area network.  The other computer is no longer on the network.
I'm guessing that Windows must be trying to connect to the other computer
whenever I try to open the attachment dialog?  Pretty stupid if that's what
Windows is doing, but the hang seems to have gone away since I deleted the shortcut.
