Explore is VERY Slow

[Guest Tom]

I am running on an Acer Aspire 5000 with AMD Turion 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 60GB

HDD formatted as NTFS and XP Pro. When I run Explore, it opens fine. But

when I then try to expand the "C" drive to see more detail (folders, etc.),

it takes about 30 seconds before it expands ( the hour glass displays during

this time). Once it expands, I can collapse and expand it instantly. If I

close Explore, however, and re-open it. The same problem occurs.
