I also put this in the tweaks...I didn't know where it belonged.

I have been searching for a fix to my slow network for serveral weeks now and I thought that I found the fix on this website.... http://www.tweakxp.com/display.aspx?id=1557

it explains the exact problem, but the fix didn't work or I didn't do it right.  I don't know how I could have messed it up.  I copied the text into notepad and saved it as .reg then double clicked it and clicked ok when it asked me to put it in the reg.

Does anyone have any suggestions???  I'm pulling my hair out.

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy, and welcome to the forum.

This post belongs here and I will delete the other.

Help will come shortly I'm sure.

Andy, have you had a look at this ?

Open up the Registry and go to :

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

Under that branch, select the key :{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} and delete it.

This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks.
If you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary.

Andy, I know you said you were experiencing the same problems as the tweak link, but are you able to give a bit more detail?

What are the computers on the system and what / when is the slowdown. ??

Thanks.

Certainly, I have win2k adv server, 2 98 machines, and 30 or so xp home machines.  when I open a folder with a lot of files in it, it takes a good 30-60 seconds...but only on the xp machines.  the 98's open right away.  some of the cad drawers also said that the new server is slower than the old (upgraded from PII 333 NT) 

I copied a 9mb file on to the client from the server with the default settings and it transfer almost instantly.  under cmd I opened the folder with the 2131 files and they also displayed instantly...but still when I try to open from cad or browse to that folder on the mapped drive it takes 30 secs - 1 min to open

when I open the folder with autocad 2k it displays the files immediately, but with autocad 14 or through my computer it takes a minute.

I am using DHCP and active directory...everything else is default.

hope this helps

Thanks

Andy

by the way I have a domain name, but the xp home's can't connect to a domain.  so I have them going through workgroup, I don't know if that makes a difference.
