Searching for files

Does anyone know how to search for files faster? I have unselected
show thumbnail graphics in Windows Explorer, yet it takes Explorer too
long to identify each file when scrolling thru our library containing
hundreds of parts. Are there any additional settings within Windows
XP that can be unselected or changed? I enjoy using this method due to
the preview capability.

 

Have you tried changing the View to Details from Icons? But may I
suggest that it's a LAN connection settings problem if the library is on
a server?

 

If you have an organized numbering system a macro can be written to find and
preview your file without browsing. This has been working for me for some
time now. Though I am still unable to preview dwgs.

I agree that our network may be part of the culprit. The main problem
seems to be Window XP related because no bottleneck occurred with NT.

 

you could get yerself a real file-manager for windows: 2XExplorer!
