"Hard" to opem "My Computer"

[Zeev]

When I start XP and run "My Computer" for the first time,
it's take few minutes before the computer complete
it.After that it's Ok.

When you click Start and then click My Computer, or when you double-click My
Computer on your Windows desktop, Windows may search (a flashlight may
appear) for a long time (for example, 5 minutes) before files appear.

Disable the Windows Image Acquisition service.
