   XP Pro Explorer Choking On Large Folders   
   28 Jul 07 19:28:32   
   
   From: fakename@fakeemailserver5.org   
      
   I have a new duel core AMD with three SATA II drives with 2GB of ram.   
      
   Explorer is hanging on opening a folder with 12K files of MP3s that total   
   68GB. I can see the folder in a commnad box and chkdsk finds nothing wrong.   
      
   I'm using Cacheman disk cache.   
      
   Anything I can do to help XP handle such a large amount of data? The folder   
   in question is an 'inbox' and I am moving   
   the files into folders by artist on another drive. But first I have to get   
   to them.
