Take the 2-minute tour ×  I've got a SUBST for a folder to drive
letter P:  I have noticed that exploring these folders from P:
is now INCREDIBLY slow, taking up to a minute sometimes to show
files. I'm showing them as general files and not thumbnails, so
it's not that.  Looking at the original folder in explorer is
lightning fast.  I've checked the indexing options and indeed
the folder where my files are stored is checked as indexed. I
can see my P: drive in the list, but clicking on the checkbox
won't do anything. It's not even checkable.  Does anyone have
any clues as to how I can fix this?  (Running Windows 7 just to
be clear).  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers
Map a drive to a path, just like on network share, but locally.
By NET command or in explorer.  share|improve this answer In
explorer you can map drive to a local folder by, for example,
\\localhost\c$\Windows. –  pbies Nov 20 '12 at 18:52 Did't help,
some folders are loading for ages. AFAIK, NET is based on SUBST.
