gui_m Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Hey! I have a pretty much a huge file collection in 5 HDs (+/- 700GB) and certain folders ALWAYS take like 4 or 5 seconds longer than extra to open. Well, I've defragmented and tried moving the folder and moving it back. Any ideas why? neither of these folders have too much content, so that's not the issue either.thx
eleventhcmd Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Does the folder have cacheable contents? For example does it contain images, video, etc that Windows tries to cache, or pre-read for a thumbnail picture?
gui_m Posted March 22, 2005 Author Posted March 22, 2005 not at all... just a three or four folders with .doc word files...I was checking out what it could be, and i found out one thing out of the ordinary.I went under Properties->Security and there was this weird user named:S-1-2...(a bunch of random n's and letters)Some other folders in the same drive have this user as well with no apparent permissions set. I can not remove it either... what is it?
frostiex Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I think that is just an outdated user SID for a user account that has been removed or deleted whith permissions that were assigned to that folder from before.
gui_m Posted March 23, 2005 Author Posted March 23, 2005 okay, but I guess it does not explain the slow-opening folders.
