Root of C: and any directory with a large (>3Gb) file or many
files/directories is now taking up to 10 seconds to list on a P4 3Ghz 1Gb
RAM.
WinXP Home, SP2. Defragged, run scandisk, emptied temp files, deleted
restore points and other junk, turned off antivirus just to see if it was
that.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Anything at all? This is becoming a bit of a showstopper for me - such a
long wait to enter each directory!
