Folders and programs take very long time to open in IE (SP2)
From the desktop, opening a folder takes a minute. Launching IE (SP2) takes
a minute. However, running MSN goes quickly, and, doing the same things from within MSN environment run quickly. I was unable to generate this question in a reasonable time when launching the link for this site directly from IE. However, when launching this link from within the MSN Explorer environment, it went very quickly. So, what happened to the functionality of my deskop and IE SP2? How can I fix this? -- Any day now, any way now, my deskotp folders shall open. |

Hi Slowfolder
Pretty obvious thing, yet have you defragged? |

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).
