long pauses opening local folders

Hello, I am wondering why it takes so long every so often when I open the root folder of my "C" drive, or the Documents folder and so on. Everything is local, and I hear almost no hard drive access. I am using Beta 2 Build: 5381. Here are my specs if it helps at all: (This is a custom White box system)
Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz 4 GB 667MHz RAM (Quad Channel 4x 1GB) 250GB Maxtor SATA Hard drive 7,200RPM 300GB Maxtor SATA Hard drive 7,200RPMWindows installation drive) Dual nVidia 7800 GTX 256MB SLI Mode
If I can get any assistance....that would be Great. Thanks so much!

I know - I get this too - also long pauses when right clicking or multiple selecting files. I guess it's just a performance issue that hasn't been ironed out yet.
If it's any consillation, my machine's faster than yours and I'm getting it as well :o(

Hello Bryan,
There are still alot of debug code in Windows Explorer for Windows Vista, as well as other system components. You may wish to try changing some settings regarding Windows Explorer via the Folder Options dialog.
To display this, simply press WinKey+R on your keyboard and type "control folders". If prompted by User Account Control, allow the application to run.
I'd recommend to gain some performance from Windows Explorer that you set it to Use Windows classic folders. You may also wish to turn off thumbnails to lower load times in folders containing large image or video documents.
I hope this information helps you, have a nice day! :-)

I just remember this one also, if you turn off UAP, it will greatly help with the performance when it comes to load time. Click Start > All Programs

Accesories > Run > MSCONFIG > Tools (tab) scroll down, select "Disable UAP" > click Launch, restart your system.

But if you have CTS then you might prefer pressing WinKey and typing msconfig and pressing the enter key.
BTW what does disabling UAP do? Allow malware to work again?
