I have a win2k advanced server with 200MB RAM. It takes a long time to launch explore when click on Mycomputer icon, or sometime it just don't respond. Even after it opens, when I click on the folders on the left panel of explore, it takes too long to open the files. Is there anyway or anywhere where I can speed up to open them?

Is DNS configured properly on your network? Win2K uses DNS for name resolution on the internal network.

Do you have any/many mapped drives on your network? Do you tend to try accessing certain machines/drives/folders more frequently than others?If so you can create shortcuts to those machines/drives/folders in your 'Network Places' folder & this greatly reduces the access times in Win2K. I am presuming that you have checked the performance of the Win2K machine & that there aren't any bottle-necks e.g. faulty NIC's etc.
