Hi,
I have about 100 Movies on a linux server which i access accross a LAN using Samba.

When i look at them in explorer on winXP my machine grinds to a halt while explorer finds out the size and duration of each film, this can take upto 5min.

I have tried to de-select the colums in explorer but it still tries to get the size and duration of each film, but just does not show them.

Anyway the question is is there a regestry setting to stop explorer trying to find all this information
