My COMPUTER or file Explorer very slow to show files

message from =?Utf-8?B?R2VyYXJk?= on 5 Jun 2004
Clicking on MY COMPUTER takes minutes before all the files are displayed. This is particularly after restarting the computer. Once the files are displayed there doesn't appear to be a problem, but the first time after restarting is extremely slow. The system displays a torchlight as it searches for all the files.
Is there a setting that can change this in XP Home?

Could be time to do a disk clean up. Once you get My Computer opened, right-click the
hard drive icon, properties, disk cleanup. It will take awhile to populate.

Whilst it wouldn't hurt to follow Mary's advice, it won't solve your
problem. Click Start > Run > type 'msconfig' (no quotes) > click the
services tab and uncheck 'Windows Image Acquisition'. OK out. Reboot and
problem solved.
