The proces Shell Hardware Detection is slowing down my computer or to be
more precise: It is slowing down all actions that use explorer.exe in some
way. Some symptoms are:
1) It takes 3-5 min from clicking the logon button until I actually see
the desktop.
2) The toolbar has a similar delay in reacting to mouse clicks.
However I can run programs from Taskmanager, provided I just type the path
myself in "New Task". If I have to browse for the program path, I
automatically activate explorer.exe and everything takes forever.
If I disable Shell Hardware Detection everything runs smoothly again (bar
MSN Messenger 6.2) but disabling this service isn't exactly The Right
Way(TM) to do it.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
