How can I make browsing through network folders/drives/computers faster? Usually when you have shared folder or a drive on a network location, it's browsable through Microsoft Windows Network. This is however painfully slow. Often when the computer or network location cannot be found, it takes ages before you get an error message and regain control over windows explorer.

"One simplest way is to use Total commander or FreeCommander (an open source alternative) to explore Your PC/laptop/NFS or even FTP server.

This will certainly speed-up your work, and wont block your explorer when accidentally clicking on shared folders."

If your on Windows 7 I would recommend mapping a drive to a FTP service. That will be faster.
