SharePoint - Unable to browse large document library in explorer view

Problem
You try to open a document library with many files by clicking on ‘Open in windows explorer’
OR
When you try to save your word document directly to sharepoint as shared drive.



and get the following error message:

Solution
 The problem occurs because the size of all the file attributes that are returned by the WebDAV server is much larger than what is expected. By default, this size is limited to 1 MB.

To work around this problem, you need to modify the windows registry on the client computer.

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.
