"My Computer" takes ages to respond when clicking on C dri..

Hello,

I've got a new problem in "My Computer" (the version you get when hitting
<Microsoft-E> not the one on the Desktop). It has been working well for many
months up until a couple of weeks ago, but now when I click on "Local Disk
(C" (in the left pane) it just hangs for about two minutes, and then it
returns with the contents of the drive, and response after that is back to
good. I've run diagnostics on the C drive and it looks fine. I haven't made
any hardware changes recently, and the only software ones I can think of are
Windows updates. There are no problems when I use the single-pane version of
Explorer from the desktop, but I prefer the two panes. Any ideas as to what
could be causing the problem?

Regards,
Arfur

You may have a problem with a driver or malware. You can try it from
Safe Mode and
see if it happens. Tap F8 on next startup and select Safe Mode when
the menu appears.
Also, have you checked for Malware. If not you can use Spybot Search
and Destroy
and Adaware to check. Do a google search for each. Get the free
versions.
