Is there a max to the number of files that Windows explorer can handle when
doing a search after for example .doc files on a network drive?
I am trying to get an overview of how many files in different formats that
are stored on a network drive.
I define the search in advanced options, launch it, and Explorer begins to
work. After some time it reaches the number 22.305 of the file type in
question, and then it begins to act strange. The computer slows down to a
point where it almost freezes, and the Task Manager CPU Usage History
threatens to go off the scale with the usage graph showing 100%. Evey now and
then it goes down a little, but then back to 100%.
I am running Windows XP SP1 in a corporate environment.
Anybody out there who has encountered this problem? If so, please enlighten
me. What is going on?
Any advice is much appreciated.
