  • 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?

  • Error database that can be updated windows detected 0x8007000D - not been fixed in Windows 8.

    Original title: slow startup and commissioning, also blocks windows 8

    My computer began to take 10 minutes to start and run. then hangs every now and again when I use it.

    I had problems installing an update and I thought that was the problem, so I followed the instructions and installed the update (KB2855336) on a clean restart. When I put the settings back to normal reboot I see the update succeeded, but the computer is still a good 10 minutes to restart.

    I tried to do a repair, but this is notauto-start.

    I tried to run a sfc/scannow and that froze the verification step 100%, I have waited a long time, checked in the Task Manager and saw that he was inactive and if you click end task.

    My Task Manager shows 99% or 100% use of the disk.

    I tried to do a system restore to a point in mid-July and which failed, error 0x80071a90 code.

    I followed the advice of someone to uninstall the update and restart twice, but the problem persists.

    What can I do to fix this? I use my laptop to work and so I need this problem as soon as possible.

    I just tried in safe mode and also it took forever to start and run. I tried different jumpers in safemode, maintenance of the system not found no problem, windows update however found two:

  • Can't disable Windows Search

    Hey, y ' all.

    I ran some research tonight using Windows Search (and the little dog Wizard thing). Got the answers I wanted and Xe by windows. Later, however, when I went to access to the files in My Documents, I double-clicked on the folder you want and, Presto! Appears Windows Search! It appears whenever I try to open a subfolder under My Documents, and I have to use the file > open to open the file (while I used to double-click the file to open it). I also noticed that "search...". "is now at the top of the file list, while"Open"is the second.

    Is it possible to stop the automatic search? I can't find anything in the help offline files, so I came here to find an answer.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Remote Desktop does not work

    Hello

    I have a desktop PC with windows XP (Professional) on this subject, but I can't access to the pc through the remote desktop tool. I already checked several options, but nothing seems to work. I don't even get an error message, the window just those which blinks and nothing happens...

    Could you please help?

    This is wat I already checked:

    -"allow users to connect remotely...". ' is running

    -TCP/IP listening on port 3389

    -Terminal services are started

    -J' tried connecting to Windows 7 and Windows XP, nothing works

    -Ping the ip address of the client PC works fine

    If you have any other ideas, I would be very gratefull!

    Thanks to advandce

    You will probably need to open port 3389 on your router so that it maps on the computer that is tuned to the connections of the DRC. It seems that you did all the other steps, but your router can prevent the connection to go anywhere. Here's a detailed guide to configure your router for DRC that can provide some guidance.
