When I browse to the mapped network drives on 2002 or ADT 3.3, it takes a long time to populate the files in the window. Once in the subfolders it's fine, but when I go back out to the root drive it pauses again. This occurs in a Windows 2k domain with 2000 and XP computers. Any ideas?
 
We used to have the problem. Our fix was to disable the subkey in the registry (fix B). Here a a few other links I used to try and hunt down the problem...



A)computer tries to connect to shares that do not exist anymore

B)The delay is caused by the W2K computer taking time to determine if scheduled tasks are enabled on the destination computer. Delete the following subkey:
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\
Subkey: {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

Although I haven't seen reports, this probably effects XP also and this registry hack should help XP also.
