How many files do you have?  How long since your OS was installed?  I found Vista really fast to begin with but as always happens, it got slower over time.  Alex.  On Friday 18 April 2008 02:05:05 Nelson Pacheco wrote:

Get them to do the same in XP.  Guarantee they will tell you XP is a LOT faster.    Vista was actually the first time I EVER saw Linux browse the filesystem quicker than Windows.
