Occasional lag when opening a folder

I hope that this has not been posted before......I looked for it and could not find it......

Often, when I open up a folder, the program seems to hang (the menu bar disappears and the whole program locks up momentarily) for about 10 seconds or so.

Is this a known problem? Is there something that I can do to stop that from happening?

Thanks in advance for any help

What happens if you come out of that folder and go back into it? Do you experience the same delay? Do you get that delay in Explorer? What OS are you running?

What are the typical contents of such slow-to-load folders? I often encounter delays on first-time visits to folders with numerous executables.

I will experiment with that and post back my results. As for the first question, it seems to be OK when I go back into the folder, so I think I am getting your drift.....it primarily happens on first time visits to folders with many exe files? Interesting........
