RE: slow directory

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Crina. Thanks for your post.
For some unknown reason the directory started working 4-5 hours after I
posted. I tried one of the fixes I found within the newsgroup but it did not
work (I tried it before I posted).

1. the server does have one NIC
2. it is through a UNC. I don't care for mappings, I have been on networks
that they just lead to more frustrations.
3. The directory was copied via CD
4. I can access successfully, but after I drill down to the second or third
level, it almost stops. There are no errors, Windows Explorer just hangs
after a minute or so.
5. There are approximately 992 files, 152 folders and use approx 84 MB.
There are no really large files (>3 MB). I do have about 4-5 zip files, but
they are not being accessed. They are 6-7 directories down.

I had thought of permissions, but they are fine (equivalent to many others).

The only thing that I did was to delete the Network Place shortcut after I
experienced a quicker response by going through Entire Network and drilling
down that way. Disk qoutas weren't the issue either. Just magically worked!
I would like to find out the reason, as magic doesn't really apply with
servers and computers!

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Mike
