Troubleshooting "My Computer" Opening Slowly on Windows XP.

If "My Computer" takes a really long time to open on your computer, you are most likely experiencing a well-known issue where Windows hangs while trying to search for network folders and printers before displaying anything to you.

Open up Folder Options from the Tools menu in Windows Explorer:

Then choose the View tab:

Uncheck the box for "Automatically search for network folders and printers", and close the dialog.

The changes should be immediate, and your problem should be gone.
