[X4U] Spinning BeachBall Delay in Finder

[LA Licata]

Björn and the list,

Hi! Thanks...

Finder preferences have been deleted a number of times and have  
forced quit finder after that, and Finder is NOT trying to connect to  
a network device. It is a stand alone computer and not normally  
connected to the internet. I have looked to see if that is a problem  
but it appears not. (My connect to server box is empty, and the last  
time I used that option was more than a year ago....)

Have you deleted the Finder preferences, too? (Then force-quit the  
Finder.)

As for the underlying reason: Could the Finder be trying to connect,  
to a network device that is not available? For example some ftp, smb  
or WebDAV share?
