Description
FileZilla 3 beta 10 takes a very long time to start up if you have disconnected network drives in Windows.
Recreate problem:
tools / map network drive
choose another computer in the network
computer\c$ or whatever
save the connection with "reconnect at logon"
FileZilla still starts up fine
remove the other computer from the network (unplug network cable)
FileZilla now takes ~30 sec to start.

A workaround could be to NOT scan all drives at startup, only when chosen by the user?
I mean, scanning a CDROM or a network drive can be slow even when it's working.

There is no scanning involved. Upon startup, FileZilla just calls the following two Windows API functions:
GetLogicalDriveStrings
GetVolumeInformation
And these functions blocking is clearly a design flaw in Windows, not a problem with FZ.
Won't fix. This is an issue only Microsoft can fix by changing their broken APIs.
