Make icons in windows appear quicker than ever!

In Windows XP everytime you open My Computer to browse folders XP automatically searches for network files and printers... this causes a delay in displaying your icons... you probably see the default windows icon and as you scroll it changes to the correct icon. This is how to stop that...

1. Open
My Computer
2. Click on the
Tools menu and select Folder Options...(or alternatively go to control panel and open Folder Options from there)
3. Under
Folder Options select the View tab.
4. Uncheck the very first check-box that says "
Automatically search for network folders and printers"...
5. Now hit
OK button...

You will see a dramatic increase in speed when Windows displays the icons...
