1. Window Explorer slows down (BUG!)
Noted that sometimes it takes ages to open a simple file folder?
No? Then open a search window using the popup menu, select advanced options
and toggle recursion on, now do a search on some file. Switch to the
'folders' view using the 'Folders' button between 'Search' and 'History' in
the toolbar.
Now open some directory: this will take longer than usual and may take ages
if you have something like a virusscanner installed.
OK. That's simple you say: do not change to 'Folders' view from a search
view. Well... That does NOT work all the time. After a reboot and starting
the explorer, the problem may still occur! Be very careful to close the
search pane before a shutdown. It may also work to switch the 'recurse'
toggle to OFF. This however is not 100%, since searching still proceeds, but
without recursion.
