[XP] Tijd verkorten die Xp zoekt naar inactieve shares

[Verwijderd]

AL een tijd erger ik me aan het volgende probleem.

Thuis heb ik een netwerk met totaal zo'n 4 pc's, laptop, xbox en een samba file servertje. Dat werkt allemaal prima op zich. Als ik een bestand van mijn laptop op mijn desktop op wil slaan dan gaat dat ook nog prima.

Nu komt echter de ergenis. Als ik op school zit en ik download iets van IE doe ik de optie opslaan als. Nu gaat ie eerst heel lang op zoek (2 minuten) naar de laatste map waar die is geweest. (dat is dus mijn desktop thuis)

Bestaat hier een register tweak voor om dit op te lossen. Zelfde probleem eigenlijk als ik per ongeluk op een share druk in "Deze Computer".

Mijn vraag is dus of er een algemene tweak bestaat om de "zoek" tijd te verkorten naar laat ik zeggen 3 seconden.

Anyone?

Slow network browsing in Windows XP

There’s a common problem in Windows XP that can make network browsing very slow.

If the 'My Network Places' folder contains a shortcut to a network share, then each refresh of the explorer window will attempt to read icon information from every file in the remote location, causing the system to slow to a crawl.

Removing all shortcuts from 'My Network Places' will return the system response to normal.

Every time you open a file via a UNC name, Windows XP will automatically add another shortcut to the 'My Network Places' folder - so the issue tends to get worse over time.

You can prevent the automatic addition of shortcuts by setting HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoRecentDocsNetHood to 1.

Similar issues affect the Start menu and Desktop - placing a shortcut to a network resource in either location can drastically slow down system response, particularly when the network resource is unavailable. Shortcuts to Domains or Machines don't suffer from these problems as they always have the same icon.

There are methods of accessing the network that will avoid this performance problem:

Method 1
Create a drive map and use this to browse the network files.

Method 2
Create a shortcut to explorer.exe and pass the UNC name of the resource.
e.g.
explorer /e, \\Server\FileShare

desktop.ini

A second issue that will also slow down browsing is the desktop.ini feature. This affects Windows XP clients using mapped drives or UNC connections.

When listing a directory Windows XP will search for and parse Desktop.ini files. This will noticably affect performance when a large number of subfolders are involved - it does this for the current folder and one level down the directory tree.

Desktop.ini can be used to provide a custom icon, thumbnail view, pop up description and background pattern.
In additions to this 'eye candy' desktop.ini can make normal file folders into 'Special Folders' (eg Fonts, History, Temporary Internet Files, "My Music", "My Pictures", and "My Documents").

Desktop.ini files are only visible in Windows Explorer if you first un-check "Hide protected operating system files" (under Tools, Options, View)

To see the file locks created by this process run the following command on the file server, while an XP client is (slowly) listing a large directory:

NET FILE | Find "desktop.ini"
or
OPENFILES /s MyServer |Find "desktop.ini"

This issue is discussed in Q840309 (included in XP sp2)

Although you can customise desktop.ini the quick solution to this performance problem is to delete the non-essential .ini files:

attrib desktop.ini -h -s
del desktop.ini

Before doing this in bulk you should compare your existing folders with some empty folders that don't have any desktop.ini files to see if this improves browsing response time:

Create a separate (testing) file share,
then create 1000 sub folders - from the command line:

FOR /L %G in (1,1,1000) do md test%G

To delete all desktop.ini files one level below the current directory run the following from the command line:

FOR /f %G in ('dir /b') do attrib %G\desktop.ini -h -s

FOR /f %G in ('dir /b') do del %G\desktop.ini

Other browsing issues
If none of the above work then you may have a problem either in the transmission of 100-Megabit network packets (Q315237) or something may be amiss with the NTFS volume itself (security descriptors or indexes) - running defrag and CHKDSK would be a good place to start.

In TweakXP kun je volgens mij ook uitvinken dat Windows naar inactieve shares blijft zoeken.

Dit had ik nog op mijn pc in een tekstfile staan, weet niet of het (nog) werkt.

Niet wachten op offline pc's
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP]
"EnableDNS"="0"

Wel wachten op offline pc's
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP]
"EnableDNS"="1"

Je kunt het proberen....

Ok bedankt ik zal eens wat proberen. I'll be back with some results

EDIT

Krijg de entry VxD helaas niet te zien. TweakXP had ik al gebruikt maar daar kon ik niets vinden. Nog maar even meer doorspitten,

Volgens mij is meestal het uitschakelen van NetBIOS voldoende. probeer dat eens
