I recently experienced a massive slowdown of Windows Explorer (MS
Windows XP) when changing directories. With the help of File Monitor
(sysinternals.com), I found that explorer.exe tried to open shlxthdl.dll
and was looking for it in all directories specified in my path. This
took very long and was the cause for the slowdown.
I am not sure why explorer.exe tried to access that dll file (which
belongs to OpenOffice), and I don't know how to turn that off. I could
only resolve this issue by uninstalling OpenOffice, which is obviously
not the ideal solution.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is this just some issue with file
associations in Windows?
Best Regards, Stefan
