WIN XP - "Windows Explorer" very slow opening "My Computer"

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

After installing Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 about a month ago, I've experienced a
major perofrmance problem. Whenever Windows Explorer opens the folder "My
Computer" or otherwise displays a list of my drives (logical drives C: thru
M: all on my local hard drive, no network drives), it takes 3 to 5 minutes to
display the list. Machine is IBM ThinkPad 1.7 MHz with 60 GB HDD and 1 GB
RAM.

I'm also having the same problem.

It is not hapening in safe mode nor in safe mode with network support.

It's a fresh install.

I have also disable all startup items with msconfig but no solution
yet.

Still searching ...

If anyone can help?

I had a similar problem when working with Explorer. I was using a VPN
connection to my domain, and it would take forever to browse the file
structure. I found a thread that helped. Do a search for the subject: "Re:
Windows Explorer too slow"

In case that dosen't work, here is the link to the site that had the reg
fix. http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Look for #157 "Prevent Automatic Folder and Icon Refresh"
