The features which detect whether or not a specific drive is ready, or build the list of drives which are ready, on my system require over 21s for a disconnected but mapped network drive. In contrast an empty DVD drive takes only 0.24s. I wonder if the next version could build the READY list when starting up, and use a drive monitor thread to keep the list up to date. @READY could then just scan the list for drive status. When SHRALIAS is used, the list could even be kept in one of its memory-mapped files, so that any new TCC instances would have instant access.

Hi, Is the WebClient Service running on your system? I disabled it on my system, which sped things up noticeably. Joe
