Hi Folks.
I have an RDBSS based redirector (High latency) that gives access to
files on the web (something like WebDAV, but isn’t as generic). Using
FileSpy, I observe a lot of IRP_MJ_READ IRPs flowing down to my driver
from explorer whenever a user “single clicks” on a file. Explorer
probably trying to read the metadata on office files. This is causing a
lot of pain. This dosen’t happen on the webdav redirector so I know that
this problem is preventable. Is there anything I can do in my driver or
otherwise to prevent explorer from reading the metadata for office, zip,
files etc. on a single click ? For e.g. can I suggest to the OS that my
redirector is a high latency driver ?
If this question dosen’t belong here, please let me know.
Thanks a lot for any pointers in the right direction.
