I think you might be looking in the wrong direction. The Authorware Web
Player is not big enough by itself to justify five minutes unless they are
on dialup. I think it is more likely that your media and other external
files are being deleted.
I think the reason the user had a problem finding the web player file is
that most Windows machines come from the factory hiding system folders (and
file extensions!).
