Click on Start–>Run type regedit click ok
Now you need to nagigate the following key from left side
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace
Under that branch, select the following key and delete it.
{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
If you want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary. This fix is so effective that it doesn’t require a reboot and you can almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your browsing processes.

I followed the advice about speeding up my explorer performance onmy Windows 2000 by deleting under …. remotecomputer\namespace the key D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF. Unfortunatly I was a bit careless and also deleted one othe key under ‘namespace’. Do you know what effect if any missing that will have?
Please let me know what ill effect if any I may have for deleting the other key under remotecomputer\namespace besides D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF
Thanks, was having this pain with accessing my shares on a newly added NAS to my home network.
It shares now pop-up much quicker when I open the explorer!
The effect of deleting the other key, which is {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} , is that shared printers won’t be displayed. You can re-create it by creating a key under RemoteComputer\NameSpace named {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} , and then editing the “(default)” value under it to have Data that says “Printers” (no quotes).
