The Case of the Intermittent (and Annoying) Explorer Hangs

摘要

I have several computers in my home network, each with a general desig-nated purpose. For example, one is my game machine, another is my home development system, and a third is where I manage my pictures and home videos (and they all double as test systems). I recently started experiencing intermittent temporary Windows Explorer hangs of up to a minute in length on the development system when I open certain folders and scroll through their contents. We've all experienced Explorer hangs, and the first few I wrote off to standard Explorer flakiness. However, when I recognized the regularity of the hangs, I suspected that something was broken and decided to investigate.
