Inifinite loop when reading a folder containing a defect link into network neighborhood

[pyscripter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a network share on any computer
2. Create a shortcut link on your development machine to the network share
3. Disconnect the computer from network which hosting the share 
4. Now, the shortcut link is broken
5. Set VirtualExplorerTreeview.RootFolderCustomPath to the folder which 
contains the broken link
6. Include toThreadedImages to 
VirtualExplorerTreeview.TreeOptions.VETImageOptions
7. Set VirtualExplorerTreeview.Active:= TRUE
8. Now VET browses the folder until arriving the broken link, then stopping and 
wait for a long, long time. Then continues (maybe).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.4.0 on D7 Pro / Win 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
I think, a (configurable) timeout for each item would be a solution. When 
reading a file info is too long, break it up and continue with next item.

Are you using the toChangeNotifierThread option?
Have you disabled the toTrackChangesInMappedDrives option?
