TC on virtual XP machine: sloooow

Another problem that TC7.04a does have as well is this:

When being run on a virtual XP machine inside Sun VirtualBox (latest version) on a W7-Pro host, TC becomes unusable when accessing the shared host folders: It slows down to a point where it takes maybe 10 minutes to read a directory on the shared host drive.
Using Windows Explorer, there is no such delay.

I have similar configuration and have no problems while accessing shared host folders inside VB with XP SP3 and TC on host W7.

Can you try with a fresh wincmd.ini? Maybe it's a setting like overlay icons or auto-refresh.

I noticed a similar behaviour. In an other group i got the recommendation to disable the automatic refresh for UNC drives on application start, i.e. add the '\' to both textfields under configuration/refresh.
This works fine for me, but you should check the code of TC to eliminate the freeze.
