After reboot, first folder takes 50 secs to open

[Guest Jack Crane]

Win XP.

 

After rebooting, the first time I open a folder (any folder) it takes 50

seconds to open. After that, all folders open instantly. How can I reconfig

to get that first folder to open right away?

 

Thanks,

Re: After reboot, first folder takes 50 secs to open

 

Are you opening that folder not long after the boot proces finished ?

 

Are you using a program that may take a while to load while locking

access to files (Zone Alarm Security Suite, Norton Internet Security) ?

 

Does this started recently ? Did you make any changes just before ?

Re: After reboot, first folder takes 50 secs to open

 

the "lag right after boot up" issue is Explorer "initializing" itself.

You can make that go away/reduce by putting the desktop/taskbar into its

own process (thread really) w/ this reg setting:

 

------cut-------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

;; ----------------------------------------------------------------------

;; make desktop process seperate (ie, desktop and taskbar in own process)

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]

"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001

-------cut--------

 

on multi-core/hyperthread cpu you will notice the diff.

 

set it back to 0 to turn it off again if not pleased (must reboot to take

effect).

 

Give it a try...

Thanks, but HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

was already set to 00000001 (1)
