Now this is a strange problem and one which irritates the heck out of me. I notice when I go into My Documents and click a folder with a 2000 date (meaning I made it then) -- it does not hang. It immediately clicks over to the contents of the folder. Any folder saved in 2001 or 2002 when clicked on, hangs and I have to wait anywhere from 30 seconds to one minute for it to click over to the contents. If I have sub-folders in my 2000 folders which were made in 2001 or 2002, they also hang. Does anyone have a guess why this is happening? Is there something that needs updating in Windows 98? And, yes I have defragged my computer less than 2 days ago and still have this problem. So I know it's not because the contents are scattered all over my hard drive.
