Freezes for a while when reading slow network shares

[giena32]

I suggest to read directory contents in separate thread as it freezes TC until read is complete. It happens if you have network shares far away (20-100ms ping).

ThreadFindFirst=1 When set to 1, moves FindFirstFile to separate thread, so the user can abort reading from a hanging network connection
NetHoodInThread=1 Load Network Neighborhood in background thread
IconsInThread=1 Load icons of EXE and LNK files in a separate thread (1/0)
IconsOnNet=0 Load icons of EXE and LNK files also on network drives (1/0)

Try to set the bold entries.
Don't sort by custom columns!

HTH,
Holger
