Hi,

I recently experienced a massive slowdown of Windows Explorer (MS
Windows XP) when changing directories. With the help of File Monitor
(sysinternals.com), I found that explorer.exe tried to open
shlxthdl.dll and was looking for it in all directories specified in my
path. This took very long and was the cause for the slowdown.
I am not sure why explorer.exe tried to access that dll file (which
belongs to OpenOffice), and I don't know how to turn that off. I could
only resolve this issue by uninstalling OpenOffice, which is obviously
not the ideal solution.
I am not a programmer, but if your system cannot find that file in the path,
why not copy that file to one of the first folders in the path? For example,
copy the file to windows\system32
Also, Google shows some more info about this file, for example in

Hope this helps
