- Explorer folder list constantly updating when browsing mapped drive
- Posted by Andrew on May 10th, 2006
Hi there,
I've noticed when viewing a map drive via wnidows explorer, that the
folder list flickers very often. Sometimes every second, sometimes a
bit longer (3 - 10 seconds).
This occurs from XP clients and 2003 servers, but never from 2000
clients or servers.
Is anyone aware of what might be causing this?
The mapped drive is hosted on a Windows 2003 server.
It's like the server is constantly sending smb updates with the folder
listing.
Regards,
Andrew
