Hi, Robbin, Thanks for your answer. My system is partitioned to two hard
drives. I defragged the C drive which has "NTFS" file system, and is about
182 GB in size. I did not defrag the D drive which has FAT32 and about 87%
utilization of 4.5 GB. (because the system wants 15% free space to do an
effective defrag, and I do not want to mess with the FAT32 recovery stuff).
What's fast: Launching this site from MSN (I have MSN Passport). Launching
this site from the start menu. Opening a link from the start menu, but NOT
opening a folder from the start menu. Opening a folder that is directly
addressed as a "folder" in the MSN Favorites.
What's slow: Launching this site from a desktop shortcut. Opening a
desktop folder. Opening a folder by a shortcut to the folder from within the
MSN Favorites area. (Seems to invoke the Explorer functionaility, which is
not working properly).

Hi Slowfolder

Pretty obvious thing, yet have you defragged?
