Right-click one specific folder... is very slow

[Guest Jordon]

I've read a lot of previous posts about right-clicking folders hanging

the computer but this isn't quite the same thing.

 

I have just one folder that this happens to and it doesn't hang the

computer, it just takes 20 minutes to display the context menu. And it

only happens on the newest computer I've purchased, a HP DC7700 Core Duo

E4400. I got it a few days ago. No other computers on the network have

this problem.

 

The folder is a shared folder on another computer on the network. Both

computers are XP Pro SP2 and are part of a domain running AD. I have

administrator rights on both machines. The XP firewall is turned off on

both. During this 20 minute wait the CPU hovers around 1%.

 

I can right-click the computer name. I can right-click subfolders under

the offending folder. I can right-click everything on the network except

this one folder. And when I map this folder as a drive letter in a login

script, that takes 20 minutes to complete when I log in. Once it's

mapped I can right click it, but if I right click it in Network

Neighborhood I wait 20 minutes.

 

Anyone have any clues?

 

TIA,

Thanks for the suggestion Kelly, but it didn't help.
