Hello, I'm having issues with Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0. Server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Clients: Windows 7, and Windows XP When Windows 7 client connect to Site using Windows Explorer there is quite a bit of delay before the files can be browsed. Uploading files, opening new files, and creating files are all generally slow. On the Windows XP machine it is quite a bit faster. There are no issues with browsing the site, pinging the server, or accessing the files. It is just a performance issues. Thank you, Walter Walter

Hi Walter, I think you are pointing at the "explorer view" functionality in MOSS, which relies on WebDAV (XP or above) or Webfldrs (XP clients). This is a known issue. The solution differs per situation and/or configuration.Please read the following article first for understanding Explorer View link There is a hotfix available for using webfolders. Please let me know if it helped.

Hi Walter, I had the same problem. Disable the ‘automatically detect settings’ in IE8 on Windows 7 solved my problem. (Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings) Regards, Johan

Hello, Thank you, Taking off the proxy auto detect settings has made it somewhat better.

Hi Walter, Are there Firewalls involved in your infrastructure, such as ISA server? In that case the configuration of these could be part of the performance degradation since they handle protocol traffic. Please post some more details on how your environment is set up. Also verify if users actually see the WebDav version of Webfolders version of the Explorer View. This could lead you to more detail on what functionality is working/not working. Webfolders is also 'switched' on automatically if WebDav Explorer View functionality is being 'blocked'
