I started having alot of virus warnings from Avast - so many so that I reinstalled via ghost.
Now windows explorer is extremely slow when transferring files. It runs the cpu up to 100 -

I also have 3 mapped network drives, all to one other computer. I recently removed a drive from the other computer.
When I tried to delete the mapped drive I found there is no option under Tools. There's just Synchronize and Folder Options.

I tried the 'net use y: /delete' - no luck.
Also the right click for the menu doesn't work on the task bar. Searched long with no luck for some registry or system settings.

I have admin rights.

Any help is appreciated.

Here's the log:

Thanks

Solved the problem of the slow transfer rate.
It had to do with DMA settings and not with mapped network drive.
or viruses (I hope none)

here's a link to another post i did in winxp forum on this site with the details and solution.
