Very slow scrolling in explorer - 30k+ .htm files

[TMCO Admin]

Hello all,

I have a problem with opening files in Front Page, but it seems to be
connected to Explorer. When opeing a network directory with 30k+ .htm files,
scrolling thru the directory is page-at-a-time, and each page takes 10-15
seconds to "find". The file names show up immediately, as well as all the
details, but the icons are the standard unknown file type icon for 10-15
seconds, then turns into the correct icon for the file association, and you
can scroll to the next page.

Hoping someone can suggest something to cure this.

I'm running mix of SP2 and SP3 machines, not all have Front Page loaded, all
act the same.

A software vendor had Vista on his laptop and was able to scroll the
directory as quickly as desired.

If I can provide any more information to help determine the problem, please
ask.

Thanks in advance.

As a test, I copied approx. 5400 of the files to a directory on my desktop,
and the results were the same, if a little bit faster. Still pauses after
each page down to draw icons.

Thank you for any ideas about what could be causing this, and any ideas on
how to correct it.

I hate asking this but could it be you just dont have the processing power or
a quick enough hard drive to read and display that much data quickly? I
have an extreme 6800 proc with 4gb 1ghz ram, ill see if i can replicate it on
my machine.
