Hi everyone!

I have a Dell Dimension running Windows XP with enough RAM!

Today when I tried opening up My Photos folder from my C drive, it took a
VERY long time to open. Once I opened a selected a folder within My Photos,
the folder opened, but when I chose to go back, it took a very long time to
perform that activity, as well. Rebooting the computer did not help.
Opening up the My Pictures folder from my external G hard drive (everything
is back up there) opened instantly.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Follow-up to original post.

No spyware, no malware, no viruses.
Have defragmented.
Rebooted, same issue. All other folders open instantly except for My Photos
on my C drive.

So I created a new folder called My Photos 1 and copied all my pictures to
this folder. When I click on it, it opens instantly. Can I simply delete
the My Photos folder, rename the folder I created to My Photos?

Thanks!

Howard
