649885 2008-03-16 08:07:00 Hello members
Lately I have a small problem when I want to open my network places. It is just very slow! Win XP PRO SP2
Quite some time ago I had the same issue but was able to fix it but can not remember what I had done.
Anyone of you that may came across this problem and able to tell me?
Thanks

Delete them and let us know if it improves again

649888 2008-03-16 09:35:00 XP makes automatic shortcuts there every time you 'open a file via a UNC name'

You can change that so it doesn't in the registry (back up first as always :))

Navigate to :

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer\NoRecentDocsNetHood

and change the value to 1

---------------------------------------------

And this one is to 'Speed up Network Browsing'

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Find a key named {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

Right click on it and delete it


Reboot after doing any/both of these changes
