If you're used to taking a coffee break because of long hangs every time you fire up Windows Explorer, the How-To Geek weblog suggests turning off network folder and printer searching in Explorer's folder options.

If the networking issue was your Explorer slow-down culprit, you should notice a significantly faster startup next time you open up My Computer. (LifeHacker.Com)
