I've looked in the spreadsheet from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7821C32F-DA15-438D-8E48-45915CD2BC14&displaylang=en,
but can't find a Policy setting that is equivalent to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\NoNetCrawling.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\NoNetCrawling
appears to relate to the Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Optons, View,
Automatically search for network folders and printers.
When this item in View has a check mark, NoNetCrawling is zero; when it has
a check mark, NoNetCrawling is 1.
Now, I know I can set NoNetCrawling in a Logon Script or by using a Custom
ADM template, but these would not establish a "Policy", but rather "tatoo"
the user's registry.
Is there a way to set NoNetCrawling as a "Policy"? I'm prepared to create a
custom ADM, but I'm not sure what Policy registry entry to set to accomplish
this.
When users have a check mark in "Automatically search for network folders
and printers", Windows Explorer appears to use excessive CPU time on our
Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. Note that I have already have hotfix
described in KB article 831129 installed and have set
NoRemoteRecursiveEvents and NoRemoteChangeNotify to 1 using a Custom ADM and
a Group Policy Object. These did make a difference, but Windows Explorer is
stil using excessive CPU time when users have a check mark in "Automatically
search for network folders and printers".
I've turned this off via the Tools, Folder Options, View gui for a few users
that Task Manager showed their explorer.exe process using a lot of CPU time.
This improved the perceived performance for those users and ameliorated the
heavy CPU load, so now I'd like to turn this off permanently for all users.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
