57 isn't enough to do it. If it only happens on the first click (I
occasionally/always see that myself), likely a buffer is being filled.
Could be the file/folder names are going into Vcache. Likely, this will
not cure you...

"Control Panel, System, Performance tab, File System button, Typical
Role".

"Windows 98 Secrets" (Livingston/Straub), p. 1039, says it governs how
fast Windows 98 may display file names & folders...

"If you choose Network Server, Vcache caches 64 directory paths and 2729
filenames in memory. If you choose Desktop Computer, it caches 32 paths
and 677 files. The Desktop Computer setting uses 10K of memory as cache
and the Network Server setting uses 40K. You can most likely spare the
additional 30K to speed up access to your files and folders."

|
| For sluggishness in navigating folders: Open Explorer, R-Clk My
| Documents in the left pane, & select Properties. How many folders
| does it contain? If it is around 100, try moving them out. Reboot.
Is
| your sluggishness gone? If not, put them back.
|
| Here is something else...
|
| If disabling your virus checker's auto-"System" scan, using it's
| Tray button, leaving the other types on, gives immediate & dramatic
| relief, I have further info. This supposedly applies to Scan Engine
| 4.1.60.

| | Opening My Documents folder is immediate, however I must admit
there

some

| | folders, not sure which.
