Slow Windows Explorer

When browsing through the directory tree, Windows Explorer
is often quite slow - takes 30 secs to read the contents
of a directory and display icons, especially if directory
contains large files (1+ MB). Any idea what is causing
this?

I have a pc with Duron 1000, 512 MB RAM, 40GB disk (2 x 20
GB partitions) and WIn 98 SE.

Thanks

Steve

Move everything from My Documents to a new folder on the desktop. Does
this solve the problem? If so, find a new home for the stuff you moved and
limit how much you file in My Documents in the future.
