Unable to browse large document library in explorer view
When Users are trying to open SharePoint document library with many files(If document library contains more than 10,000 items) using explorer view they may get the following error message:
\\server\webfolder\folder is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions.
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Solution:
To work around this problem, you need to modify the windows registry on the client computer.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\
Value:
FileAttributesLimitInBytes
Data Type: DWORD
Default Value: 1,000,000
decimal (1 MB)
Change the default value to a larger number, e.g. 100000000 for 100mb.
Exit Registry Editor
Restart WebClient service,
net stop webclient
net start webclient
