Webb Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 After reinstalling XP Pro/SP2 to my laptop I mapped a network drive, an external drive on my desktop computer, and explorer has slowed to a crawl. Just opening it takes 10 seconds or so and it hangs for up to 30 seconds while navigating it. This didn't happen until the reinstall.Does anyone know of a fix for this? Like "don't populate the network drive until I click on it"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
