My Documents Folder Slow To Open!
TJBlack
fast enough. When I click on my My Documents folder, it is slow to
open compared to other folders. Some folders take three and four
seconds to open. Other folders open up immediately.
I used to have a lot of files with several layers of folders in My
Documents, but have move them to another directory. My new directory
with several folders and files opens immediately. My Documents now
has three files and no folders and it still is very sluggish to open.
Any ideas here? TIA!

Do you have an Antivirus program running? If you do try to exclude that
folder.

try give a look at this old post... when.. when ... WHEN will MS tell us
what's going on there?
Ciao!
"Opening a Folder Takes a Long Time! When you open a folder in Microsoft
Explorer on a drive using the FAT32
file system. The total space used by all directory entries in the folder
exceeds 32K:
Move some files to a different folder"
That is not what is needed in this case, or at least not the only (and
most evident) cause... the slow "My Docs" problem is a thread that has been
posted here many times but even MS didn't officialy answered to why this
system folder (all system folders?) get so slow using Windows Explorer to
browse them, even without Office (or any application at all but the OS
itself with basic driver sets) installed...
James, the only good advice for now is to move all your data out of My
Docs and put in it a link/shortcut to the new folder you just created.

Mr. Eos
those "programs that want to dump their files" into MyDox. This makes
saving to your new location much easier.
