Takes Too Long
Win XP Pro all updates installed.
Select A File Look In: Try to drop down the Look In: box and it takes nearly a minute sometimes to populate and get a selection available. After that it is much quicker. What can be causing this? How to fix? On a laptop with SSD (so no slow HDD). --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

This is the only one I know of, in the Search box. https://s9.postimg.org/3po8i8pv3/lookin.gif And opening that drop-down menu, is more strenuous than opening Disk Management, as it is likely to display file shares. And a broken external reference could take a while to resolve (a mapping that no longer exists). Paul

I have not used that in at least 10 years, since installing SearchEverything.

Start "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer", click on "Tools", "Disconnect Network Drive" and see if there are any invalid or unusable entries. If so, remove them. Ben So how do I reconnect them when I get home on my LAN ? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Ben So how do I reconnect them when I get home on my LAN ? Typically, you just click "Tools", "Map Network Drive". Please note that there is a box marked "Reconnect at logon" that you can check or uncheck. Ben
