Investigating slowness

[Frank Rizzo]

I am investigating why WinXP is running slowly when I double click on a
folder. It says in the status bar that it is "searching for items" and
it sometimes takes up to 5 seconds to show a folder that maybe has 5
files in it.

So I cranked up FileMon and I am getting the following entries (when I
try and open a folder). Does anyone know what it means?

usually the indexing service creates
an undesirable affect. go to services and
cycle it on to off or vice versa.... then reboot
