Windows Explorer Performance

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Just in the past week my windows explorer takes a whole minute to open any
type of document even a text document. This is unacceptable as this is my
machine at work. I have done all the general maintenance like defrag etc...
and have even disabled last access via fsutil.

Does anyone know what else I can do to resolve this problem. I figure if
I'm seeing this on my own machine, that it's going to happen to one of my
users eventually.

Do you happen to have Microsoft Antispyware installed? It's known to
cause huge delays in opening documents (or other kinds of files).

I have adaware and spybot installed.
