Speed Up Detailed View in Explorer

If you like to view your files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" view here is a

tweak to speed up the listing of file attributes:

Viewing files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" mode shows various attributes

associated with each file shown. Some of these must be retrieved from the individual

files when you click on the directory for viewing. For a directory with numerous and

relatively large files (such as a folder in which one stores media, eg: *.mp3's, *.avi's

etc.), Windows Explorer lags as it reads through each one. Here's how to disable viewing

of unwanted attributes and speed up file browsing:

· Open Windows Explorer.

· Navigate to the folder which you wish to optimize.

· In "Details" mode right-click the bar at the top which displays the names of the

attribute columns.

· Uncheck any that are unwanted/unneeded.

Explorer will apply your preferences immediately, and longs lists of unnecessary

attributes will not be displayed.

Likewise, one may choose to display any information which is regarded as needed,

getting more out of Explorer.

Very Slow Boot When Networking ???

On some XP Pro installations, when connected to a network (peer-peer in this case),

the computer boot time is over 1:40. The system seems to freeze after logging in and the

desktop may not appear or will freeze for a minute. As timed with the utility,

Bootvis.exe, the problem was with the driver mrxsmb.dll, adding over 67 seconds to the

boot time. Turning off and restoring file and printer sharing eliminated 65 seconds from

the boot time.

· Alt-click (or right-click) on Network Places > Properties.

· Alt-click on Ethernet Adapter connection > Properties.

· Un-check "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" > OK.

· Reboot.

· If you need file or printer sharing, repeat the above, re-check the box and re-boot

again.
