Hi, I have a Windows Home Server which works perfectly. I have two Windows 7 RTM machines, one a laptop and the other a desktop. From the Laptop i can create and rename Folders on the share with ease. From the desktop, whenever i create or rename a folder from explorer or another app the program freezes for around a minute before completeing successfully. Whilst the program has froze, if i browse to my shared folders i can see that the change has taken place. Even though the program is still frozen. Its driving me nuts, any ideas?

It may not be a network issue, because the actions are finished properly. Please temporary disable the anti-virus and firewall. If the issue still occurs, I suggest that you disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps: 1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK". Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. How does it work now? If the issue persists, please let us know when the program freezes, and the network share folder is opened, if you can open the new created component properly. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.Arthur Xie - MSFT
