Hi Bob, you're right, I had few network shortucts on my desktop and this caused the problem. I have removed them and now paint.net runs excellently Thank you!

Thank you for hint, it really seems like that. I don't know what is the problem with the files on the desktop, but formerly I had similar problem with loading files into Outlook as attachment. Outlook also freezed in case when the loaded file was on the desktop. Its strange...

I don't know the answer, but I have the same problem. Its annoying because the program freezes for quite a long time...
