KB943460 - Windows Explorer Slow

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

For a little while now I've noticed Windows Explorer being slow to update
its right pane when browsing. Often times it would take 5 - 10 seconds to
refresh the listing, even in a folder with little or no contents.

Inhibiting all non-MS services and all startup apps via msconfig made no
difference whatsoever. Booting in safe mode and everything was ok
speed-wise.

After playing around w/ repair installs I discovered that after some of the
more recent updates the problem came back. Further investigation pinned
this on kB943460.

I have seen only one other mention of this, some Kaspersky forum where that
AV program in conjunction w/ 943460 caused the same behavior.

I don't have that but do have Norton. However, totally disabling everything
made no difference.

A clean install (no other software loaded) w/ 943460 resulted in a properly
functioning Windows Explorer.

Anyone have any comments? Is there another way to get this fix in place, by
hand perhaps? Chances of a problem if the fix is left uninstalled?

Thanks.
