Guest tshad Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I noticed on my Windows Explorer window on my XP that the left pane (that displayes the folder tree) is constantly refreshing. Why is that and is it slowing down my system? We have some machines where it only seems to happen on the networked (shared) folders so the only the folders below the mapped drives will flicker and not the local drives folders. What is happening here? Is it something I should be worried about? Thanks, Tom.
