texte = Actually there is no search being done on these files.Some are placed into a page as a result from another simpler search. I know probably half of these files are outdated and its bad management by the person in charge to keep them active. I suspect the number will just grow and grow and grow.I was wondering if at some point NT would just choke from some limitation.I have found references to 10,000 or 15,000 on the MS support pages, but that gets confusing real quick (sheesh, thanks MS)At 09:26 AM 4/29/03, you wrote: >Lester Emo wrote: >>Is there a limit on how many files can be in an NT folder before things >>get iffy overall? > >I am not aware of a hard limit (or even a soft one), but the overhead >involved in searching for a file in such a large directory is not >insignificant (whatever you, do don't try and display that directory in >Explorer).
