A lot of time to open a folder

It takes a long time to open a folder, restart my computer and stop...

What can I do?

You can improve your computer's performance by preventing unnecessary programs from running automatically when Windows starts. Here's how:

  1. Open Windows Defender by clicking the Start button, all programs, click Windows Defender.
  2. Click Tools, and then click Software Explorer.
  3. In the category box, click startup programs.
  4. Select the program you want to run and then click on disable.
  5. Click Yes to confirm that you want to stop this program from running.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each program you want to stop to run.

  • How to make win Explorer Options stay even each time to open the folder

    Using Vista Home Premium SP1, in the view of STANDARD as in XP. When I open Win Explorer I resize the window, adjust the display, change the column headers, change the column sizes and others. In other words I customize the display of the window I want and do my thing, then close when you are finished. The next time I open pgm all parameters resumed all that.

    Hi Willie_wonka,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.
     
    When you open a window and resize it, and then close, the new window will remain the same, until what you restart. Once you restart the computer, this is the default value. There is no option in windows to keep. However, you can try work around here.
     
    Open a window and make it the size you want
    Open a 2nd window and are the same size.

    The 1st window to the front, hold CTRL and click the red X in the upper right corner.
    Close the window of the 2nd in the same way using CTRL.

    You can also restore the default settings of the display of the tools-> Folder Options-> view files-> restore default settings.

    This should solve the problem.

    Kind regards

  • Firefox is very slow and takes a lot of time by opening a page. I have to move the cursor immediately after clicking on?

    Since then, yesterday evening firefox is not running at its normal pace. Initially, I thought that the problem comes from my laptop, but then I realized pages are open at normal speed in other browsers. Fireffox, I have to click and wait for the page to load. The page will not be charged unless that and until after clicking on remove the slider away!

  • Opening a folder on the network brings the PC almost complete stop!

    Hello

    I work in a small office with a computer acting as a server with three other connected PCs.  For some reason, whenever the boss turns on the network drive and open a specific folder, his pc is incredibly slow.  The other two PCs can open that folder and continue to navigate without any problems.  We performed a virus on the file scan and there is no virus top.  It must restart your pc so that it runs again at an acceptable speed.  We also tried to defrag his pc, but nothing works.  Help, please!

    If the record contains a lot of computer items the boss can have too little memory available for the full list. Try to set his Windows Exporer for display only details or list view instead of the icons or thumbnails.

    Check the memory in this way:

    Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and click Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. You will see (in XP) the total physical memory available physical memory settings and system Cache. Also, a section of Charge dedicated with parameters commit total load, committing a billing limit and the maximum Commit Charge.

    My pc is slow, because my total physical memory is 1 048 048 (1 GB - GB) and my Total commit Charge is 1 282 820 (1.2 GB) so my Total commit Charge is greater than the total physical memory. Total commit Charge is the total memory used by programs. Until the system done - well to avoid the errors blue screen or out of memory or just a really bad day system takes a bit of the memory being used for other programs that are running but not active and swaps this info memory at a predetermined hard disk location. This frees up physical ram for programs that are actively used. The Act of Exchange on disk this memory takes 100 to 1,000 times as long to access which exchanged information of physical ram memory if your computer slows down considerably the. Your options here are to close programs or add ram if possible. I cannot - old computer and cannot be updated.

    So the simple solution is to add more memory to the computer if possible. Check out Crucial.com for a program that will determine the current memory and upgrade options possible. It will download a control through the browser to determine. The site should have good exchange memory mode. You may need to replace 512 MB for 1 GB modules, because the pc has only so many slots to put memory in. ATTENTION always leave the computer plugged in and turned OFF and touch a metal box on the pc before handling the memory chips. If you move always unload your static electricity in this way.

  • In downloads, nothing happens when I click on 'open containing folder '.

    Today, I downloaded a file, and need to go to my desktop, but when I right click to 'open containing folder', nothing happens.

    I've successfully done in the past, so what's the problem this time?

    No, it is not grayed out

  • My downloads via Firefox did in fact download - "Open" and "Open containing folder" and grayed out when I right click on downloads in the downloads menu

    I had this problem for quite a while. Downloads Download not really. Nothing comes in my download folder (and I checked where they are supposed to be stored, I'm checking the right place). In my downloads through the client Firefox popup if I click on any download, 'Open' and 'Open containing folder' is greyed out. I tried using 18 Firefox and the current client every night and reinstalled several times.

    What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

    So "open" and "Open containing folder" in the menu contextual in the window Download Manager are grayed out then it means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they have been removed by anti-virus software or cleaning.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupt downloaded files or otherwise interferes with the download of files.

    Try disabling analysis in real time (live) files in your software anti-virus temporarily to see if that makes working download.

    Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • measurement time and openness 4132

    Hello

    I use a 4132 SMU with a switch 2531 to measure different resistance in an electric circuit. I use a brief biphasic pulse of 50ms ~ to measure resistance. My problem is the measurement time if long - it seems that the minimum pulse width I can do is a 30ms pulse in a polarity and a pulse ~ 40ms in the other polarity. I disabled 'way' that knocked 20ms on each phase, but I am still left with a ~ 70-80ms measure, but I wish it were half that, if possible. The only other way I can see to minimize the measurement time is at the bottom of the window opening, but any if I increase or decrease the time of opening, the measure takes about 10 x longer if the opening is none other than 1 PLC.

    Attached is the Subvi I use to measure the unique resistance value. Note that first I close the relay to solve part of the circuit and then configure the SMU and then get several measures, one for V (+) and one for the (-) V. This measure will be repeated 15 times in quick, although succession with different closed relay, which means that the SMU gets reconfigured/initialized 15 times with the same parameters, so maybe that's my problem. I have not ventured into the handshake, but I would like to know if there is anything else I can do since the handshaking deal would take a lot of programming. In any case, when I run the VI several times, there are only 8 ms between biphasic pulses, so the reconfiguration may not take THAT long.

    I posted a jpg file of the time trace of the impulse it generates (10,000 samples per second). Note that the first phase of the pulse is a different length of time that the second phase: there is nothing in the program that would cause - it would be more logical if the first phase was more time on behalf of increasing the time for the configuration of the SMU. So I have sort of a bunch of problems here: 1) cannot reduce opening time 2) want to avoid a handshake VI if it means hours and hours of programming, 3) uneven pulses. I hope someone can point me in the right direction!

    Thank you very much

    GimNPC

    gimNPC,

    As mentioned earlier, you should not call Reset every time at the end of the method. Instead, set the output to 0 c. Moreover, all the attributes that are not changed will not need to be reconfigured, which will speed up the loop a little (maximum, that I would expect several milliseconds).

    When you call niDCPower Reset, the opening time is reconfigured. On the 4132, anytime, the opening time is reconfigured, must wait a minimum of time to allow a measure being erased. It is because of the behavior of one of the hardware components that we use. If you prevent the reconfiguration of your opening time during each run, your speed should be improved significantly.

    Please let us know if these suggestions help, or if you have any other questions.

    Thank you

  • Panel before application takes a long time to open

    I have an application that opens quickly on a single computer and takes a lot of time on another.  What is happening is the icon in the taskbar, but the front panel does not open for a certain period of time.  Both computers are running Windows 7 and the application has been generated in LV 2010.  The main objective of the applications is the capture of images from a USB camera. Communications to the camera is made using .NET components that have been developed by the manufacturer of the camera.

    I was hoping someone could give some ideas on where to start troubleshooting?

    Terry

    I had this issue on a computer that couldn't access the network.

    This is because .NET tries to access the network. You can run this application on a computer connected to the internet? I think you need to uncheck some options

    Panel--> options Internet--> advanced

    I think that the three I unchecked were: 'Check the CRL of the editor', 'activate integrated Windows authentication' and 'the server certificate revocation checking. " I'm not sure of the exact 3 I unchecked, but him give a try. Good luck!

  • Why Windows Media Player 11 download once AGAIN every time I open it? I have Windows XP Home Edition.

    Everytime I open WMP, it goes through the process of validation and downloads all new - even if I was just there recently. My music is still in tact, it's just a lot of time and a real pain. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  • How can I change the folder under Folders options browse to open each folder in its own window?

    No matter how many times I select "Open each folder in the same window", the files still open in a separate window. So I then several windows open in order to view the other subfolders. Also when I select "File Types" tab and I see that the extension of the file types: (folder) and (folder), they both show (none), which I guess is OK.  So when I click on the "Advanced" tab area 'Actions' watch [find] and [open] with Open being the DEFAULT action. But for Edit or delete buttons are greyed out! So anything that can be changed is the default action is open or find it.

    I just want to be able to open and view the folders in the same window! Do you think I have to reinstall XP Home Edition, running around SP3?
