View Full Version : system uses up all memory when I enter certain directories

I was creating a very large file with my video editing software on my
F: partition (an NTFS partition). I aborted this process. When I
open my F: folder, the file is not present (which I expected). Then,
my memory usage (as indicated in the task manager), goes from ~100MB
to ~900MB (I only have 512MB of physical memory, so this slows the
system to a crawl). The same condition happened on another drive as
well, whenever I go to H:\XXX\YYY it will spin out of control.

I have tried running defrag and error checking, neither of which make
a difference.

Any ideas?
