Do you sit and wait while Explorer seems to take it's time showing the owner of each file/directory that is displayed? If so, then you might find the following useful:
- Open Explorer and select "Details" under the "View" menu
- Right click on any of the column headers (such as "Name", "Size", or "Owner")
- Uncheck "Owner" or any other you don't need.
You should see immediate improvements as you navigate around.
To make this permanent for all folders,
- Select "Folder Options" from the "Tools" menu
- Select the "View" tab
- Click the "Apply to All Folders" button
Now, you will not see "Owner" in any folder. If you want to re-display it, simply follow the instructions above and re-check "Owner" in step 3.
That's it!
