You may have better luck with a different view. the desktop view cannot be
changed but accept for the applications folder I use my finder in column view.
Also, take a look through finder preferences and turn off all the visuals.
when you are in a finder window, press command-, to get to preferences
you'll want to uncheck "springloaded folders" in general and also in general
unchanything that does not need to appear on your desktop.
Do all finder windows go busy? I cannot duplicate your issue unless I am in
something huge.

the machine it doesn't do that can anyone give me any ideas on why that
might be I'm still trying to get the hang of this stuff slowly but surely
