I was going to mention you specifically, Colorado. I have 10 folders,
656 files, only. I did test the thing briefly once by COPYing all of
Program Files into it. Doing that COPY was a horror of a different
color, & I cannot recommend it. After a reboot, THAT particular horror
is over/done with.

Now I had 328 folders & 4836 files in My Documents. I didn't initially
notice much, if any, problem in navigating folders. Could be it got
worse after continuous navigation. I really wanted to delete them, after
the shock of the COPY, & perhaps did not give it a full test.

ANYWAY, many have reported relief by moving excess folder out of My
Documents. So, it is a worthwhile suggestion-- uhhhhh, presuming they
don't have to MOVE a veritable ton of stuff out. THAT could lead to a
truly horrid experience! Well, once started, give it it's inordinate
amount of time to complete-- one hour or more! The machine may appear to
be dead! (Actually, everything not Explorer related continues to run
well, IF you can get out of the Explorer window to see it.) Reboot, &
all will be well. The COPY will have been done.
