using host share for my documents in windows is slow but mapped drive isn't

Description

Weird issue found.

If you change my documents location to your mapped virtual share and use the my documents link to get there it is very slow upwards of 10 seconds to open sometimes longer.

If you create a link to the mapped drive on the desktop it is much faster. Here is where it gets weird. If you change the icon for the shortcut to the mapped drive to the standard folder icon it becomes slow again!

told you it was weird!
