Explorer "stuck" in refresh loop

[Guest]

On one of my workstations it seems that the explorer is "stuck" in a refresh
loop. We see this sometimes when browsing to a mapped networkdrive with the
Explorer, but always when using the Search Assistant. It looks like something
presses the Refresh/Search-button after the search is completed.
We are using Win XP pro SP2 workstations (Dutch) on a SBS 2003 SP1 server
(English), all systems are up-to-date using the latest (public) patches.

I have tried the solutions provided in kb816375 "Windows XP Explorer Pane
flickers on mapped network drives" but unfortunately they didn't make a
difference.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

The fix Malke didn't help, but it did put me on the right track (so thanx
Malke!)

For now, it looks like the problem is solved by a regfix with these lines:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
"NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
"Max Cached Icons"="12000"

Good look to other people with the same problem and thanx to Malke and WTC
for trying to help ... Best regards, Raymond Lardenoije

Thanks for posting the solution. I'm glad you got it all sorted.

I have the same problem and neither of these solutions seem to have resolved
the problem. They appear to be on the right track but just didn't do the
trick. Anyone have any additional suggestions??
