Windows Explorer very slow to load

[Guest billTheTailor@gmail.com]

When I open Windows Explorer with folders on the left, it initially

loads very well. I get My Computer, My Documents, etc etc etc. When

I click the plus sign to expand D: it goes well, then +Inetpub, then

+wwwroot and then it stops and waits. And waits. And waits.

 

If I double-click wwwroot in the listview pane, it loads immediately -

though the treeview will still be five or ten minutes before it

refreshes. I can navigate as deep into the structure as I want as

long as I use the listview pane - the treeview just takes too long to

refresh.

 

Any ideas what's causing this? My PC at home doesn't do it.

 

Home: XP Pro

Work: XP Pro <-- problem

Servers: Windows Server 2003 <-- problem

 

Thanks!

And, an additional bit of information: it's not just the wwwroot

folder. It's any folder on the hard drive below two or three levels

deep.
