Re: Windows Explorer Takes forever to show content...

Thanks. I did exactly as you said but that doesn't make a difference. Windows Explorer is still sloooooowwwww..... when accesing network folder which contains thousands of files and subfolders.

Any other tricks?

Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace


Select key: (select the whole folder)

and delete the key.

Before you delete it you might want to export (save) the key... just in case.

WinXP Pro SP2 (+ latest patches) on a switched network (10/100Mbps) with WinServer 2003, DNS and WINS enabled.

Everytime users access a network folder (server shared folder or W2k Pro shared folder), it takes 20 seconds or longer to display the content. The folder in question contains 2000 and more files. Accessing the same folder with Windows 95, 98SE only takes 3 second (or less) before the content is displayed on the monitor.

Why is WinXP Windows Explorer slower than older version of Windows? It happens on all WinXP machines but not Win9x. Is there any trick to speed it up?

Thanks much.
