Windows 7 slow to open folder on Server 2008 R2

We redirect "My Documents" folders and add a departmental drive share at our site.

Problem: Some users reported very slow speeds opening remote folders.  The bar across the top would go for minutes before the folder was accessible.

Solution: On the server, right click the folder in question, select properties then the Customize tab, change the "optimize this folder for:" to "General Items", also check "apply this template to all subfolders" if applicable. Choose "ok".
