Well, on win2k, you probably had indexing service enabled....If it's not =
on XP, it will take more time to search files.
I'm not an XP user myself, but I'm pretty sure that XP has an indexing =
service as well.

Under win2k, you can install it by going to add/remove programs --> =
add/remove windows components.

Subject: [windows2000] Slow network searching



Hi all,

Sorry, this is a little off topic but I thought this list is more suited =
to
our problem!

We have just started upgrading our workstations from Win2K to WinXp Pro. =
We
have noticed that when searching a network drive for a file using the
'Search for files and folders' wizard in XP, it takes at least 3 minutes =
to
finish. When the same search is carried out on Win2k, the search takes
seconds.

Has anyone seen / solved this problem before?

Thanks in advance

Jonathan
