Hi Everybody,

I am experiencing these problems on my Windows 2000:

1.? Takes >30 seconds to open "C:\" folder

2.? Takes >30 seconds to create a "New Folder", gets stuck at File->New.

Does anyone know how to fix them?

Have you done thew following

1) Defragged your Hard Drive?
2) Checked for viruses?
3) Checked for Spyware?

Thanks for your reply, MadGamer.

Problem #1 started right after I defragmented the Hard Drive.

My virus program scans my computer everyday.

Download msconfig from: http://www.techadvice.com/specs/file...p?fnid=3398288 . As your on Windows 2000 msconfig isnt included. After you have downloaded it run it and disable any startup items you dont need.

Thanks for your advice, MadGamer.

I downloaded and installed msconfig, but it still takes >30 seconds to make a "New Folder".

"C:\" seems to open fine now.

You could also delete you Temp directory. To do this:

1) Open My Computer
2) Doible click on the C drive
3) Double click on the WINDOWS folder
4) Double clcik on Temp
