Hello, good afternoon.
I have the following problems when using litestep 3.02, austerity default theme:
- when creating a new folder, file etc, it takes about 4-5 seconds to create the thing and refreshing the window. Only then I can click the thing again and rename it.
- when renaming a new file/folder/thing, it takes about 4-5 seconds to the action finish and refresh the window.
- when a download finishes, if I click the option "open folder" it just doesn´t work, nothing happens.
So, that´s normal, it´s a bug, or it´s just me? hehe
Thanks a lot for the help :D
Whats your os and config...?
win2000 server, and sorry, I didn´t undertand what you meant with "config"
thanks for the reply :D
Im not to sure for win 2000 server.
I ran into this with xp and it was the visual effects in sysdm.cpl-advanced tab
If that's not it someone else will jump in help...
Well, I looked for the sysdm.cpl and found nothing :|
Thanks for the good will :D
1. Win2k seems to have a delay. For me it's only about 2 seconds. You might want to use the command line for making folders :)
A couple handy links to make that easy for ya:

2. What browser? If it's IE, it probaby tries to use something in explorer as a shell. Dunno. If it's Mozilla, try 1.6 (don't know for sure, though), or Firefox 0.8 (0.7 had a problem with opening folders, 0.8 works fine).
Well, that helps ... but.. well .. it isn´t very cool although hehe
Thanks for the reply Cerbir :D
Dug this up for you.
It's definitely the Netware client doing this, at least for me.
What happens: right-click over a quick-launch toolbar icon, or over a desktop shortcut. It takes about 10-25 seconds before the menu pops up. Try again, any icon, and it's fast. Wait about 5 minutes, and it is slow again.
Does not affect My Computer, My Net, Recycle, or system tray icons.
It happens on Windows 2000 SP4, but not on Windows 2000 SP3.
During the delay, Task Manager shows nothing going on. But Ethereal (a network tracer) shows that the Netware client is the culprit. It looks to me like the PC is using the Netware client to try to resolve a name using IPX SAP, SLP, and Bindery scan.
There are multiple requests using each protocol with 1-4 seconds delay between them, acounting for 12 seconds from
the time I clicked till it finally gives up and then I see the menu.
I hestitate to say it is trying to resolve the name "C" using the network, but that's what it kind of looks like to me. Amazing if true.
I have Novell Netware Client 4.83, with some patches. If I uninstall the client, the problem goes away. I've tried 4.83 service pack 2, and 4.83 service pack 2 plus update "e". No difference - still slow. Reports elsewhere say that client 4.90 does not fix it either.
If you're having the same problems and using the Novell client, then the best place to follow up is probably on Novell's newsgroup:
novell.support.os.client.winnt-2k-xp
Hope this helps
Is ther any solution to this file renaming lag issue? I have the same problem and I find it pretty annoying...
Thank you in advance.
