File Open (16-Bit) Displays File List Very Slowly (124123)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q124123 SYMPTOMS
When you use the File Open dialog box from a 16-bit Windows-based
application, the system becomes busy for an unreasonable length of time
before it displays a list of files.
CAUSE
The 16-bit File Open common dialog box has a much longer access time if the
directory being viewed has more than 1000 files. The increase in the amount
of time before the file list appears is not proportional to the increase in
the number of files.
WORKAROUND
Reorganize the directory into smaller groups and move the files into
subdirectories.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
