Hi,
My windows explorer on a Win98 system slows to a crawl. It can take over a min to move to a new directory. It's just explorer.
The symptoms snowball after entering a directory w/ about 30-40 (it's at home now) subfolders and 2 to 3 other files. Each subdir has about 10 to 50 files in it... nothing outrageous
I've tried Defrag.
I've tried turning off the virus protection (I'll update Norton soon)... just in case
I've tried reinstalling Win98
I've tried moving the directories... just delays the symptoms
I've tried a few other things that I forget just now...
I'm about to try Linux ;-)
Any ideas? Maybe WinExplorer uses a cache I could flush or something?
