Slow Icon Refresh

[Guest]

In My Documents folder I've created a folder called "Downloads" as a generic
place for downloaded programs. It currently has 20 files in it.

Lately, everytime I click on that directry all the icons on my desktop as
well as the list of files in that directry "refresh". I don't know what else
to call it. But it takes time and I have to wait till it is done to proceed.


Why does it do that and is there anything I can do differently that would
eliminate or speed up this activity?

Thanks,
eeh

Hi eeh,

You could try increasing the icon cache to see if that helps solve the
problem........d/load and run the fix that is available here:
