Speed up Folder Browsing.

Thought of putting up this small tip/trick for speeding up folder browsing in Windows XP. This tip is essentially useful for a computer with limited resources.

You may have noticed that at times when you try to open my computer to browse folders there is a slight delay in processing the request. This is due to the fact that  Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers every-time you try opening Windows Explorer.

To tweak this in order to increase folder browsing speed significantly follow the below mentioned steps:

1.  Open My Computer.


2.  Click on Tools menu.


3.  Click on Folder Options.


4.  Click on the View tab.


5.  Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box.


6.  Click Apply.


7.  Click Ok.


8.  Reboot your computer.
