Windows 7 Locks up or slows when opening a folder
There are a few reasons why windows in general may slow down when opening a folder. The simple reason is because windows is doing something or asking some program to do something on it&squo;s behalf. At first when people experience slow downs, they may think that they need a processor upgrade, more memory or a new computer alltogether. Although these things would definately help the situation they are not the cause and definately not necessarily the only solution.
