I have a folder on my Server 2003 with 60K + pdf files. 2 windows xp pro SP2 PC's have to refresh all 60K + files before you are able to save into this folder. With the other PC's that are on the network ..they only have to put the file name in and click save ...they don't have to wait for all the files to refresh. Anyone see this before?

You can experiment with this (after backing up Registry).
You can make Windows Explorer constantly refresh and update its files and folder views. Go through the Registry through RegEdit, and navigate through the left-hand pane until you get to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/
CurrentControlSet/control/Update item. In the right-hand pane, click on UpdateMode and select Modify. In the Edit window, change 01 to 00. Exit everything and reboot for this to take effect.
You could also look at your Video driver and see if there is an update available.
