Annoying automatic file download with NetDrive?

Hi,

I am using Novell NetDrive 4.1 (OS: Windows XP SP2) in order to access
WebDAV servers from directly within Windows Explorer. This works OK
except for one thing: Anytime I click a folder in order to *only view*
(not open) its contens, NetDrive starts automatically downloading the
files within the folders. I have not clicked the files themselves, just
opening a folder is enough to start this annoying auto-download. If I
do not cancel this process, the files are downloaded to NetDrive's
cache directory.

Assuming that this might be due to certain cache settings, I disabled
all cache functions, therefore NetDrive should not download anything to
its cache. But it still does it again and again. I always have to
cancel the file downloads whenever I switch from one folder to another.

Does anyone know what this could be due to and how I can fix this?

Peter,

You posted to a dead newsgroup which is no longer part of the official
Novell support hierarchy. I suggest you visit
http://support.novell.com/forums and post to one of the official
Novell newsgroups.

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't noticed. I just searched Google
Groups for an appropriate newsgroup and didn't check whether it is
still active. My fault.
