Disable Checking of Scheduled Tasks on Remote Computers

Requires the use of the Registry Editor!
If you don't know what you are doing in the Registry, or even what it is, then DON'T DO IT. This tip is intended for users who are familiar with the Windows registry and tinkerers who don't mind an occasional "uh-oh" and rebuild.

This tweak/modification results in a speed increase when browsing your files using Explorer, and any file dialogs that are opened.  This 'problem' (it's actually a designed behavior) usually occurs only when you have network drive mappings, so as with all registry changes....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

A rather annoying "feature" included with Windows 2000 can impact the responsiveness in network browsing from Windows 2000 and XP systems to Windows 98 PCs. When you browse the network and double-click on an available workstation, you may experience a delay of up to 30 seconds. This is due to a resource scanning routine that checks Scheduled Tasks on the remote PC.

In most cases, it's not necessary, so simply deleting the associated registry key will work around the issue. You can also add items to My Network Places to work around this issue. When you upgrade Windows components or versions of Internet Explorer, this may be replaced, so you'll have to delete the key again in order to rid yourself of the reinstated delay.

Navigate to the following registry location (or search for the value below using the F3 key):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace

Then delete the following key:

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

This change is effective immediately, no reboot required.
