Open in Explorer View Running Slow in SharePoint?

I used to have a wiki to store knowledge, now I don’t really have anything (maybe I should put my wiki online again)…

Anyhow, I found this little gem today regarding webdav slowness.

Essentially, SharePoint uses WebDav connections when you click “Open in Windows Explorer”.  If you happen to be running IE 8, you are going to want to turn off “Automatically Detect Settings” (Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Uncheck “Automatically Detect Settings”).

The speed of your connection should go from a 1994 1,200 baud modem to a 2008 DSL connection.  Wahoo!
