I would suggest re running a Windows Service Pack up to SP3 (not SP4 yet)
Re-creating the RDP sessions may well help

Phil,
Sorry for the delay, I've been out of the office.
All of the printers are locally defined LPR/LPD or port 9100 printers, no
windows sharing. However, it's not just the printers folder. I cannot open
anything that uses the explorer type display, Control Panel, Windows
Explorer, My Computer etc. When I logoff I have to manually end an explorer
process/thread when the prompt pops up!
Cheers
Richard

Have you left the window for a long time to see if something happens.
It could be a mis configured WINS/DNS problem leading to long delays in
resolving the available printers?
regards,
Phil

Hi,
My Win2k RDP termianl server has a weird problem. If I go
Start|Settings|Printers nothing happens, no printer window but no hanging.
I've rebooted and tried again, nothing.
I can still use the start menu and run shortcuts from the desktop but I've
also discovered that double clicking My Computer also just gives nothing.
The weird thing is that on trying to log out the system brings up a window
saying "End program - explorer.exe" etc.etc.. This implies to me that an
explorer thread is started for the printers folder or my computer but it
hangs/stops or whatever.
I suppose my questions are...
1) Has anybody seen this before and how can I fix it please?
2) If no-one has seen it how do I start troubleshooting it. I used process
explorer from sysinternals, all very interesting but not much help to a
pharmacist!
Many thanks
Richard
