when i open my hard drive, it opens correctly, but when i click on the
documents and settings folder or the program files folder, it freezes for
about 10 seconds. this does not happen to the other folders on the drive.
how can i resolve this?? thanks

I would run disk defragmentor to clean up fragmentation that affects
directory searches

Hello

I had a similar problem that was caused by a large .zip file in the root
folder. It was solved by putting it in a sub-folder.
