Computer trivia

I agree, you can browse through your folders very fast, but sometimes you find a slight delay wen you try to open some folder or traverse through the explorer tree. The following tweak will fix this and makes explorer slightly faster than normal. Though the difference is not too great, it is noticeable.

The idea is to instruct Windows not to search for network files and printers each time you open windows explorer. By default windows does this every time explorer is opened. So here are the steps.

- Open any explorer window

- Click Tools menu and select “Folder Options”

- Click the “View” tab in the Folder Options window

- Clear “Automatically search for network folders and printers” check box

- Click OK

The computer must be restarted for this change to be applied (probably, restarting explorer will work, but I don’t know)
