Timeout when trying to open broken network links

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

Hi,

If I click a shortcut to a local network folder (e.g. in My Network Places)
and that folder is for some reason not available (doesn't exist, offline
etc) Explorer takes about 40 seconds before it stops trying and gives me an
error msg. Is it possible to reduce this timeout to about 5 seconds?

Thanks,

Adrian
