No, there can be many factors.

Looks like 5 is faster than 6 for you. I currently use a combo of 6 + 2.

Remember this is all about testing if a location exists resp. is available/connected. Of course I could also skip the whole testing. Would be faster if the location exists. BUT, if it does not exists, there can be loooong delays...

OK

Is it possible to add a parameter (hidden?) to manually select the method to browse network ?

I'd rather call it "Optimize for XP" or so... but I need more data. Since Luke does not answer, I need any Vista user with network to confirm that it works now!!!!!!

I'm a Vista user, what do you need checked?

Here are results from your Exists UNC path app:

I had 2 Vista users that reported they could not use the network anymore since 6.20. In the meantime I found out why: I was using an API call that simply was not supported under Vista.

Now I just want to know: can you use the network in XY under Vista now? If yes, that's all I need to know. Then I'll upload 6.30 ASAP, and UDC (user defined commands) will be 6.40...

I'm running Vista Business and XYplorer v6.20.0011 and I can browse our small network both via a mapped drive and UNC path (\\servername\sharename).

Thanks! Did you ever try it with v6.20.0000. Should not have worked.

No, I must not have -- I would have noticed if network browsing wasn't working (via mapped drives, anyway)

Sorry for the delay man, been crazy at work. I can confirm that I have network access again with the latest beta - w00t! 6.20.0012

It's also noticeably quicker listing directories!

Mucho gracias

Out of interest, I have 6.20.0001 if you're desperate to know if it worked for him or not
