Speed Up Opening of My Computer

Are you annoyed by the delay when you open My Computer?? The delay is caused due to Windows looking for network folders and devices. But if you are not on a network which is true for most cases, why should Windows look for network folders and devices.

Here’s how to stop Windows from doing that:

Simply open up My computer, from File menu and click on Tools > Folder Options.

Then under View tab, look for ‘Automatically search for network folders and printers‘, uncheck it and click OK.

Now, you’ll experience significant improvement in time My computer takes to open up.
