I give support to a mixed Windows 2000/2003 network. I have a problem with
preview pane and proprieties. The network is consisted by a Windows 2000
Server Domain Controller and a Windows 2003 Standard R2 member server. All
clients are XP Pro.

Many users use Terminal Services to the Windows 2003 Server if they have to
work outside the office from home. The problems I’m having are 2 but really
annoying:

1) When you right-clic a folder shared by the domain controller (Windows
2000 Server) and choose “proprieties†the dialog takes like 30 minutes to
popup. This only happens when you want to see proprieties from a network
share, but locally there’s no issue.

2) This is VERY important: If preview pane is enabled in the explorer
windows in the Windows 2003 member server you cannot browse network shares
that contains large files (over 1 or 2GB). If you do, maybe nothing happens,
but if you enter a folder with large files on it the “explorer.exe†process
hangs out and you need to kill it.

I’ve settle a policy to disable Preview Pane feature but I want to find the
right solution.
If you can help, thank you in advanced.
