Can I disable Windows Explorer to automatically scan the directories

I have two mapped network drives. When I hove the mouse over a folder, windows want to browse all folders and subfolders to count the total number of files, folders, size. It is causing a lot of unnecessary network traffic. I can't disable Windows to display information in the folder Option, but it still scans in the background.

Here is an example:
Folder1 has three subfolders, each containing three subfolders. When I hover over Folder1, it scans everything what it, same thing when I click in the folder, it scans everything, in all of the subfolders, files.

However if I use cmd and I cd\folder1 it scans only the next level which is three files, and so forth causing much less network traffic.

This feature is disable with a registry entry?

    Hi, Mike Moczan,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    I suggest you to load the game in a clean boot state to see if the problem is not caused by the interference of any third-party application.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows 7, follow these steps.
    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

  • When I open my external hard drive via laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically.

    When I open my external hard drive via my laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically. Why is it so? It opens perfectly well in other major tours. I use windows vista.

    Hello

    ·         You receive an error message when you restart the Explorer?

    Method 1:

    You can run a scan on the hard drive to check for errors and repair if there is no performance problem.

  • BlackBerry Software windows explore opens automatically to display the volumes

    When I connect (usb or wireless) my BB 10 phone to my computer, Windows Explorer opens automatically to display the contents of the S/D card and the device. How can I disable auto open to explore?

    UH... I don't know any way for volumes of BB to the card and display without the running Device Manager. You may have a few weird things configured on your computer, deleting things from appearing in the system tray? Very strange... is the desktop running software? When it is, and the device is connected, the device manager must run.

    If you really can't find it, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the Desktop software and try again, this time not to select this option as you go.

    Good luck!

  • I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem

  • Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack.

    Hello

    I installed an Edimax EW-7718Un network adapter that does not connect to the internet. I installed the same device on my Windows Vista laptop and it works fine, this isn't a problem with the product or my BT Home Hub. I checked the Edimax website and this product is compatible with Windows 7, and I have the latest drivers for it. I did the following to try to resolve the problem:
    -I've already been on the adapter properties, and clicked on "update drivers", the system says that the network card is working properly and that the drivers are up to date. I also installed the latest drivers on the Edimax website but the issue is not resolved.

    When I solve the problem, he told me that "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol for the network card stack."

    Please note that the settings are correct as the TCP/IP and DNS are set on "automatically get an IPv6/4 address server / DNS automatically".

    Also of note is that in "Network connections" in the Control Panel, the device is listed as "Disabled", I click to activate it but it does nothing, the network connection is still disabled. When I click on "analyze what" the same message "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the adapter network." appears.

    I also have compeltely re-installed Windows 7 and use the system restore, neither worked.

    I hope you can solve this problem.
    Thank you
    Mickey

    Hi Mickey888,

    According to the information provided by the Edimax website this particular model supports up to Windows Vista only.

    http://www.Edimax.us/HTML/English/products/EW-7718Unspec.htm

    You can try to install the same in compatibility mode and see if that solves the problem. To run the troubleshoot compatibility utility follow the link below.

  • Windows could not automatically detects the network proxy settings

    Recently, I noticed a triangle appearing little attention with my network icon in the taskbar. When I right click and solve problems, it comes with this message. Windows could not automatically detect the network proxy settings. My internet has been really slow lately, but I wonder if there is a problem with my network? or is - something that my ISP has set?

    (This message is intended for all problem reports)

    Check the Internet Options (Internet Explorer tools or configuration panel / /Connections Options tab / LAN Settings and make sure that Proxy Server is not checked even if you use Firefox.)  Check the settings in Firefox Tools / Advanced connections / settings (should be use system proxy settings or no proxy).

    Search for malware, especially using malwarebytes.

    Try these commands in this order in an elevated command prompt.  Not the first first, then reboot and try.  If still bad, try the second.

    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ipv4 reset

    If they do not help, please after the output of a command ipconfig/all-order

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?

  • Win7x64 with adapter DWA-160, "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol for the network card stack."

    As the title suggests, I am running Windows 7 family, 64 bit. This is a new installation, a few days ago and I have not installed anything on, or changed the settings.

    I installed a DWA-160 D-link Wireless adapter n with the current drivers, fix (before you ask to confirm, they come from Web site of D - link. I used initially the disk included in the box, however, this has generated the same question that I'll explain, so I uninstalled this software and has continued to use the Windows program to connect to the wireless network.

    I can connect to the network, of course; However, I get the message "Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack" when connecting each time.

    After searching for an answer, I tried to turn on the WLAN auto configuration service, however, it is enabled by default. If this isn't any help.

    Tried the netsh winsock / netsh int ip / netsh int ipv4 / netsh int ipv6 reset and restarted after each, no change, if this isn't any help.

    Made sure the problem wasn't with the wireless router, and it isn't because I can connect with my laptop.

    Tried to plug in the USB stick on another computer yet. I don't want to plug into my laptop just to test that possibility. So. Yes.

    I also don't know much about all the inner workings of one of these things, so it would be rad If everything was in one step by step. Thanks in advance.

  • When you click on a directory in windows Explorer it always moves the directory expanded to the bottom of the tree, why? As she does she does not see the subdirectories extended without scrolling to the top.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Hello Androidipous,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!

    Scrolling occurs if you double-click the item that you are expanding. If you click on the arrow to the left of the file that you expand the list will stay where it is and lay them down.

    The parchment you see Windows Explorer tries to display the full path to the parent records to existing records, but according to the list of the programs/size of the screen, the result can be that the folder is scroll to the bottom.

    Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.
