Hi All,

I've discovered that my new Dell Precision 360 is slow
when changing to a directory on a network server, but only
when that directory contains many files, taking up to 9
seconds!

Is there a setting under Microsoft XP that I can change to
speed up the process of changing directories?

Interestingly, a Toshiba laptop in our lab does not have
the same problem under XP, as it can change to the same
directory within one second.

Any advice would be appreciated!

HIya

The delay is caused by the the computer taking time to
determine if scheduled tasks are enabled on the destination
computer. Delete the following subkey:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\
Subkey: {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

Hey There,

Thanks for the response. I tried the procedure you
recommended below, but the problem persists.

That is, it takes 8 seconds for Explorer to change to a
server directory on the network if that directory contains
a lot of files (i.e., more than 500), but not if it has
only a few files.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
