I asked this before, and think only one person responded, so I'd appreciate
more input on this, if someone would be kind enough to try it and respond.
After you boot up Windows XP (or reboot, for that matter), and wait a minute
or two for it to settle down (i.e. no disk actitivity).....
Has anyone else noticed that when you first go to use Windows Explorer, and
select the main drive C:, and then expand it (to see all the folders
underneath it), it takes a fair amount of time for it to remove all those
spurious "+" signs (spurious, for non-existent subfolders), and finally
settle down so you can actually use it?
I've got a 1.6 GHz computer here, and it seems to take 5 - 10 seconds to
finally settle down so you can actually use explorer. Once done, it is
pretty quick afterwards, however, (when you invoke windows explorer again),
as it has apparently been cached (perhaps by that prefetch thing).
I am just curious if this is unique behavior to my computer.
