Browsing the Network Is Really Slow on My NT Workstation

Browsing the network is really slow on my NT workstation

Ever used Explorer to browse your network and found that it is extremely slow and unresponsive at times? I had a look throught technet to see if there was any information on this problem and found the following command (article Q226370):

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx C:winntINFmstask.inf,,,256

Apparently it is down to IE4 and it’s task scheduler. Applying this command certainly improves the performance of browsing the local area network.
