searching for files on network drives 1

[FiGgY132]

When searching for a filename on a mapped network drive, I then hit stop when I've found what I'm looking for but a few seconds later the search begins again without me touching any keys or buttons. Whats going on?
The disk is constantly being written to by other users so I was thinking it was something to do with this, but it never happend before with win2kpro, only when winxp pro was installed. It's also pretty slow for the speed of the network (100Mbit) and the server is @ 6-7% resources used. Any ideas on speeding things up and stopping this search from auto-restarting?¿?

TIA

Is it searching, or just flashing?

Explorer automatically refresh! How do I stop it?

One speedup for lan disk browsing:
Open the registry editor.
Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace

Export this key (in order to back it up, just in case) and then delete the key called
{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (Task Scheduler).
Close the registry.

This change is made at the clients and not the server.

Hi there.

It's definitely searching for the same files again no matter how many times I click stop! Thanks for the help with the lan issue. I haven't tried it yet but can remember deleting that entry on another machine a while back to get things moving a little quicker!
Any more Ideas?¿?

TIA

Do these happen to be .avi or other video files? Is this happening with a filename search, a full text search, or both?

As a guess, it is not seeing the 'Stop' click, as certain file types if scanned take so long explorer becomes unresponsive.

Try:

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1209/

(remove the minus symbol to reverse the change)

Try: Start, Run, regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
(Start, Run regsvr32 /i sipfldr.dll to reverse the change)

The files are .cdr files (coreldraw11) if this is any help.
Another thing is that there are 100 of thousands of files to check through. It finds them quick enough thats why I hit stop, so it doesn't keep searching for what I have already found.

should have added that its only the filename I'm searching for )

 

[FiGgY132]

should have also mentioned that your tip worked(so far!)

"Try: Start, Run, regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
(Start, Run regsvr32 /i sipfldr.dll to reverse the change)"

Thanks for your help!

Then let me correct a typo:
Try: Start, Run, regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
(Start, Run regsvr32 /i zipfldr.dll to reverse the change)"

Best,
