I think it's very good of you to follow up! I thought I would add another helpful tip here for avoiding startup delays: For exiting XYplorer, I use a custom toolbar button with the following script: For my purposes, all I want to do here is to close all unlocked tabs, reset the tree back to a preset minimal Favorite Mini Tree with nothing expanded, no network paths, no unattached drives, and then exit with saving of the entire current configuration.

That way, when I next start up XYplorer, it doesn't have to wait on any external resources. (I have XYplorer configured to start up with the last tree and pane state.) This technique also gives you a working template on which to add/customize this behavior further when/if needed.
