File copy from client crashes

Hi all,

I connect to my works machine from home, winxp pro to winxp pro. I have
enabled local storage on the client to be visible over the connection.
However, right click a .exe on the client folders and it takes absolutely
ages to return the context menu. Do the same with a zip and its hell of a lot
quicker. Secondly if I try to copy/paste files from the client to my works
machine the explorer on the works machine crashes out and I have to
disconnect and reconnect to get the desktop back.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Pete.
Pete

I guess that the anti-virus system on the server is scanning the entire .exe
file before displaying the context menu.

Try investigating your anti-virus.
