Re: Another flaw in Windows XP

It is not the opening of Windows Explorer although that can also show this
behavior by how the folder tree and files populate in the right-hand pane.
This is a result of Internet Explorer 6. Listen you can see the difference
very easily in Windows 2000. There you see how the folder structure
populates without IE 6 installed. Then go ahead and put IE 6 in. You will
notice the folders populate by cascading. That is NOT the way the folders
poulate with IE 5 or 5.5 in Windows 2000. There they populate all at once.
No cascading.

This behavior in Windows XP is a direct result of IE 6. It is not so
noticable with local drives and not with Network drives in folders that do
not have files which are building. But in folders that are on Network
drives with a large number of files which are building you will see this
behavior very clearly that I op'd on this.
