    Sometimes my desktop seems to freeze

    Sometimes my desktop seems to freeze.
    When i double-click on a shortcut or select an item from the Start menu, nothing happens. In Task manager i try to kill and restart a new explorer session, but this is not solving the problem. Opening the Start- Run any program sometimes work.
    Restarting the server solve the problem, but is not always possible.
    All servers have sp6a

      ARe you trying to access a network application? Is it using UNC names? IF so map a drive to it and edit the shortcut properties accordingly.

      This could be just a simple matter of your system being bogged down by too many temp files. (When this file is large, it really start “eating up” your resources.) If you just search for .tmp (temp files) in your find, and open these folders, you might be surprised at how many files are actually there. Then it is just a matter of deleting them to free up space. (Don’t forget to empty your recycle bin as well)
      This is usually a good move even if it doesn’t solve your problem. You may find that your PC will run a lot faster.

      Under properties for the shortcut, is the start in: directory local or a network drive?
      We had this problem with AutoCad, start in: directed the program to a network drive where all dwg files were located. When we changed it back to the local drive where the program was installed, the problem went away.
