Ok, here's a strange thing. When I browse a folder in XP that in this case contains 200+ jpg images, the system drags down considerably. This is what I see happening:
One opens the folder containing the jpg files. I am viewing in LIST view so this is not a thumbnail concern (those are always slow). All the icons for the jpg files are initially the default icon for a file that windows does not recognize. Slowly, about every second or so, the icons are changed to the photoshop icon as that's what they are associated with. Eventually, all the icons are chnaged and things speed back up. This happens every time I re-open the folder as well. I know that WinXP, 2000, NT store icons for files differently than 9x versions did, but If I copy this same folder to my Win2K Laptop, this does not occur. I just browse them like I would any other kind of file. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
I am putting down my PC specs here:
Athlon 1.2g T-Bird processor
Abit KT7 MB
1g Ram
20g HD Primary (OS and Apps)
40g HD Secondary (Files n such)
My HD's are set up as Dynamic Disks. Can this be a problem?
WinXP Pro + SP1
Photoshop 7
Any ideas anybody?
