   Turn off any "enhancements" like "jobs/tasks view" and music title preview   
   or picture book preview.   
   Sort your files into subfolders by name, you may do that even from a "dos   
   prompt", like "mkdir A-files; move A*mp3 A-Files" and so on, in a script.   
   Turn off on-access virus scanning for that folder (with caution).
