I've run into the problem described in MS knowledgebase Article 817768 Windows Explorer Stops Responding When It Tries to Sort More Than 1 Million Objects on a RAID Controlle
I got the fix from MS and applied it, then I went to modify the registry as it states and is shown below
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explore
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD
Type SortMaxItemCount, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
Type Maximum_#, and then click O
I'm a bit confused though as I thought DWord values were 4 bit hex or decimal. I entered the value stated (Maximum_#) but the new attribute still displays 0. I question if this is correct because I'm still experiencing the problem, Explorer hangs and consumes about 98% of the CPU resources although it is a little better. I'm zipping files up to get under 1 million but if I don't do it on a continual basis everytime the server gets over 800,000 files explorer starts to get slow and hang. The files aren't big just numerous as the application generates lots of PDF & RTF files.
