Vista - windows explorer very slow to come up in winxp

//what to look for?//

You need to find the correct newsgroup first.

Try something with "windows" in it.

This is a group for DotNet developers/programmers using the DotNet
framework.

Good luck with your search.

I have got the same problem. Windows Explorer just started to go slow. It
takes 10+ seconds to load. The directory tree comes up quickly but navigating
the folders is really painful.

Did you have any luck finding out what causes it.

I did fix my problem. It was because i had a mapped drive that did not exist
any more on the network. As soon as I disconnected the drive it is now fine.
