If I have a folder pointing to a network share that does not exist and I try to open that folder windows will 'freeze' that folder for about 30 seconds while windows tries to find it before telling me it can't.... Same thing happens if I know its not a valid shortcut and try to right click on it to delete it: windows will take about 30 seconds until it gives me the menu.
Rather annoying, been a problem for windows machines for many, many years....
Ive been wondering, anyone know how to shorten this time? Id like to set it to 5 seconds. (since any share on my local network takes sub 2s to access >99.99% of the time since I set all my HDD to never spin down). And maybe also disable this nonsense when I right click on a folder?
