    Hi, All

    From the beginning on my system has a very strange thingie.

    C drive is FAT32
    D drive is NTFS

    When opening Windows Explorer on the D Drive the system hangs for a few seconds 1 or 2 seconds and than releases the system back to me. It looks like that it is updating something when i do it on the C drive than it is nothing the matter also when i'm opening a sub directory this happens again.

    What can it be. Indexing for search already off maybe something else

    Network or stand-alone?

    XP-home or XP-Pro?

    Anything interesting in the event logs?

    Have you tried starting task manager, set it to look at processes sorted by the amount of CPU time they take, and seeing from that exactly what process is hogging your PC?

    Setting task manager to "always on top" and moving it to one side usually work for me when I'm trying to figure out a thing like this.

    And the original "network or home" question was because the PC can occasionally take a long time looking for a network resource - will appear "hung ".
