| Hi, I have been having an issue with our network after a planned outage.
We rebooted majority of the servers and since then any files on network
or local disk takes a few minutes to open.
The files opens quicker if the application is launched and then selected
from file open menu however double clicking the file always causes the
hour glass to appear and some times hangs the machine until it opens.
The Workstations are running Windows XP SP3.
There is one other thing; if I disable the network card then the local
files open normal speed.
Thank you
Kashif

| I would check if there is something loading behind the explorer.exe, I had
cases where winzip for example was loaded from a remote location so every
times that the explorer loads something winzip was being consulted on the
network causing delays in the explorer responses.
Can you run Autoruns ? , and check if there is something strange being
loaded on the explorer Tab ?

| Hi, everything else from removable media etc works, it just dose not work when it is on the network or local disk. I found if you try to open the file from COMMAND it works fine.
Thanks

Check the event logs on the DC.
Fire up netmon or wireshark and look at the traffic on the workstation

| Download Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx and have a look what it is happening. You’ll see what is happening at a network level but you’ll also see what is happening at a file and registry level.
We’ve had a few interesting incidents where there was something in the user’s profile that was looking for network resources that didn’t exist anymore. Removing the profile and recreating it fixed the issue. I never got to the bottom of why it happens.
