File Display In Windows NT Explorer May Appear Slow

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0
• Microsoft Windows 95

SUMMARY

When you view a file from a network resource with Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer, it may take longer to view the file than when you use File Manager to view the file.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows Explorer and Windows NT Explorer support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). When Windows Explorer or Windows NT Explorer displays a list of files on a network resource, it downloads the header information and other details for all files in the folder, such as program associations, icon information, and so on.

File Manager does not support OLE. File Manager reads the file label and displays the file name, and then performs the appropriate operation (such as reading or opening the file). The additional information is not used by File Manager.
