What process happens?
Can somebody please explain me what processes exactly happen from when I
dbl-click on "My Documents" up to the time it appears? (I want to see if I can make this process faste. I want "My documents" to appears just as soon as II d-click on it.) Thanks Javad |

I think you know that when we clk on sth a clk event happents and some
events start happening with the clk. (It's up to the programmer). I wanted to know the exact things which happen after my click. I don't think it's immediate. The number of folders in "My Docs" is exactly 57. I tried clicking on the folder right now. On my first clk it was opened so late, but I closed it and tried again. In my next tries it came much faster. I don't have any idea about the reason. Thanks Javad "PCR" wrote in message ... There is one who experimented carefully with "debug" apps who said it is ONLY the number of folders that matter, owing to convolutions & iterations. Also, it won't apply to everyone/machine. So... 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.

Dear PCR
I think I found the answer. The process must be something like this: 1- Dbl-Clk event 2- Mouse pointer changes 3- A "form" is loaded into memory. ("Form" is the special page (window) which is supposed to appear) 4- "Menu Bar" is loaded into memory. (RAM) 5- "Tool Bar" is loaded into memory. 6- "Status Bar" is loaded into memory. 7- "Web Contents" column is loaded into memory. 8- The "Form" appears with "Menu Br" & "Status Br" & "Web Contents column". 9- System asks for a list of related files and folders (Not subfolders). (I think asks it from registry) 10- The list of files and folders appear. The most time consuming steps are 3&4&5&6&7, but step 3&4&5&6 (I think) are only done the first time I want to open a window. On next tries, these steps are ignored. So the problem occurs only on first try. Two other reasons may also cause the problem. First: The list of file and folders (Not subfolders) is too large. Second: Another program is occupying CPU and RAM. There are several solutions for this: 1- Turn off "Tool Bar", "Status Bar" and "Web Contents". 2- Not to let the list get too large. 3- Exit other programs before clicking on "My Documents" 4- Use a faster CPU and a higher RAM. Finally, I think that the best choice is not to do anything and let the problem occure on first open. On next tries it won't take place. Javad |

Opening My Documents folder is immediate, however I must admit there isn't very much in the My Documents folder. I have created an alternate folder on my desktop (My Files) and use it because of some potential slowdown if My Documents folder exceeds 100 files or folders, not sure which.

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." -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Javad" wrote in message ... | I think you know that when we clk on sth a clk event happents and some | events start happening with the clk.

I agree, let it be. It must be much as you say, overhead in doing a
thing for the first time. I suppose a 3rd party app, such as an octopusy virus scanner or a BHO, can contribute as well. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Javad" wrote in message ...
