    1. Open My Computer
    2. Click on Tools menu
    3. Click on Folder Options
    4. Click on the View tab.
    5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
    6. Click Apply

    8. Reboot your computer

    5.ADD A PICTURE TO A FOLDER:

    (A)In Windows Explorer (the program that appears when you open folders such as My Computer, My Documents, My Pictures, or My Music), right-click the folder you want to add a picture to, and then click Properties.
    (B)In the Properties dialog box, click the Customize tab. If there is no Customize tab, you cannot add a picture to that folder. You can add pictures to other folders, however.
    On the Customize tab, click Choose Picture.
    In the Browse dialog box, click the picture you want to use, and then click Open.
    Click OK.
