We are running PC's and laptops with XP Operating system (SP1 & SP2) and file
servers that run Windows 2000 server. When some users browse the network
through windows explorer, there is an intermittent delay when opening
folders. I have applied a couple of fixes. like deleting a key in the
registry for the schedule tasks. Is there any other major problems that you
can reply to me with.

Eliminate excessive protocols, and check the Node Type for each computer:

Do you have a domain, or a workgroup? If a domain, check how your domain is
setup for name resolution:

If NETBUI is in use some very slow browsing can occur, particularly when
loading a "DropDown" with a listing of folders ( as in e.g. Word - save as -
click on save in drop down) .
Also I find that a very slow response is sometimes obtained if double
clicking the folder name is used to invoke the browse whereas clicking the +
symbol to the left of folder will open instantly.
