I've got a SUBST for a folder to drive letter P:

I have noticed that exploring these folders from P: is now INCREDIBLY slow, taking up to a minute sometimes to show files. I'm showing them as general files and not thumbnails, so it's not that.

Looking at the original folder in explorer is lightning fast.

I've checked the indexing options and indeed the folder where my files are stored is checked as indexed. I can see my P: drive in the list, but clicking on the checkbox won't do anything. It's not even checkable.

Does anyone have any clues as to how I can fix this?

(Running Windows 7 just to be clear).

Map a drive to a path, just like on network share, but locally. By NET command or in explorer.

Go to Control Panel / Indexing Options, to see all the currently indexed locations.

Click the Modify button and a screen will come up that, if P is listed, will allow you to specify the P drive as indexed by clicking on the check-box. Then click OK.

To have effect, this requires a reboot and may take some time.
