My Computer Mapped Drive Freezes Machine

[Guest]

On WinXP SP2, when trying to access a subfolder on a mapped drive from the My
Computer window, the sytem freezes up. However, when accessing the same
mapped drive subfolder from Windows Explorer (Rt click on Start and then
select "Explore"), it opens fine. Remapping the drive didn't help, as well
as rebooting. Nothing shows up under Task Manager showing the CPU being used
up, etc.

This happens on all machines, so is a problem with the folder, I would
expect, but then why would it work with Win Explorer and not My Computer?
All other subfolders can be accessed fine. This folder has no special
permissions or anything and is not unusually large in size.

Thanks.

maybe your computer had some viruses.
windows xp allows users customise folders by using a kind of script
language, and when you use My Computer, the script language based program is
autorun, it is using up the CPU. and when you use Explorer is not running.
so you'd better find out which process is using up your CPU, and delete it.
or, show all your hiden files in your folders,and open the file called
desktop.ini in Notepad, you will find something, have a try.
