My Pictures
The My Pictures folder takes about a minute and a half to load. It just started doing this about a week ago. I click on it and the hard drive starts running and I can still do other things but a minute and a half later the folder pops up. My hard the defragmenter says "You do not need to defragment this volume". Why would it be doing this?

If you have a lot of pics in there, try setting the view to list or icons, or even details. Don't use the thumbnail/filmstrip views as they tend to rally slow down the system.

I have a lot of pics I take with my digital camera and I need the thumbnails as I do not label them. I hate looking throuh pictures without thumbnails even if they are labled.

If you run Win XP, you will be able to see a preview in the actions pane on the left of the folder even if you have the view setting at Icon or list or detail. In Win 2K/9x/Me, select View>Web View to enable the realtime preview feature..
andyms18a has a real good suggestion there. |

THere's really nothing you can do about that besides break them into groups, and put em into dif folders. Just with it having to load every single image takes for ever...

I have had problems in the past with the pictures showing up slowly. This is different in that the folder doesn't even show up for a minute. It's not sitting there with the pictures showing up one by one.

I had that problem, then I started putting each "session" of pics in its own folder.
Right now.... 4359 pics in 171 folder... about 4 years of pics 2265 from the past 8 months alone.... A LOT easier to load that way, I have each folder named by date...works for me |

hi ho,
if the pictures are huge in size (high kb or MB wise) you may want to resize them. i know it's a big hassle to resize them all, but i am confident they will load up quicker. however, i think the best suggestion, as andyms18a mentioned, is to sort them in different folders. one meg short of a gig, jsanchez |
