Nearly always, yes.

even internally, I think. (That is, My Computer has to know ALL the
directories and files at some high level, and that's what takes time.)

What seems to be taking the time is the level above that, where it
eventually produces a list (right pane) of _drives_, not directories.

BTW, did you all know that if you open the Open Dialog box and there are
hundreds of files in the folder, one doesn't have to scroll to find the
one he wants, nor does he have to type the whole name. By typing the
first few characters of the name, it gives a list of files that start
that way.

Yes, typing first character can indeed save time.

Though I try very hard _never_ to have hundreds of files - or folders -
in a folder. If they get to be much more than a screenful, I subdivide.
