I tried these fixes to no avail, one thing I did notice that I forgot to mention.... Clicking and the shares will let the contents appear on the left side (under the share name) but not on the right side (showing the share/folder contents), anyone have a clue? Also, when I logged on as the admin the same problem albeit the folders popped a little faster (15 seconds instead of 35)

This will speed up explorer by a noticeable amount. Step 1. In Windows 2000, click Start, Run, type regedt32, and click OK. Step 2. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace. Step 3. Under that branch, select the key {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}. This key instructs Windows Explorer to search for Scheduled Tasks. If you wish, pull down the Registry menu and click Save Key to back up this value. Name the output file, say, Scheduled.reg, and you can easily restore the key if necessary. Step 4. Delete the key and close the Registry Editor. This change takes effect immediately and doesn't require a reboot, so you can determine how much it speeds up the process. Also check this link for a number of other suggestions on how to speed up explorer... http://www.ithowto.com/novell/clientspeed.htm On 4 Jan 2002, at 16:27, John Witherspoon wrote: > We are having an issue where on our laptops particularly those that > are docked with dual NIC's (one in the dock, one in the machine) where > the content of a folder sometime takes about 30 seconds to appear > after initially clicking on the folder structure in the right explorer > window.
