It takes about 15 seconds for me to open a folder in XP Pro SP2. This
is on a fast machine. It used to take a second. I've wracked my brains
trying to think of what I did to cause this, but I can't think of a
thing. Maybe an automatic update?

This is on an HP Pavilion zt3380 notebook with dual monitors. It still
happens with a single monitor.

Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.
