Slow Explorer browsing for certain users
Hi guys,
I am having an issue where I have 2 users on a domain with brand new dual and quad core PC's running XP Pro experiencing slow explorer browsing within my computer and the c drive. Icons in my computer or the C Drive, when clicked on take around 1 second to highlight but clicking on Icons on the desktop is instantaneous. this doesn't sound like much, but is frustrating when working on a brand new computer
When I log in with the domain administrator account I get instantaneous browsing everywhere.
I have tried giving both users admin rights on the domain but this did not help browsing speeds.
It is only these 2 users that have this browsing issue, the common link between the 2 systems is that the latest Auto Cad is installed on both of them.
I'm not sure if this could be affecting them, but if anyone else has seen something like this or has any ideas then help would be great.
Cheers guys

It just seems so wierd that it is only on those accounts and only within my computer or C drive. Browsing on the desktop is really fast.
its not a massive issue, but users dont like getting a beefy new design computer that struggles to browse the C drive.
Thanks for the info though, I'll check the network drives.
any more ideas would be great.
