I didn't read in detail but.....

Was it ever established that you are running Norton AV?

If so.....

You can disable Norton antivirus for MS Office applications. Open Norton antivirus, select options (you should have a split window with categories on the left and specifics on the right) under "other" is a category Miscellaneous there you will find the option to disable the "office plug in" simply un-check the checkbox, your applications should load much faster.


If not, there might be more that can be done.

Kori,

Google the issue. I'm sure you will find advice.

Time for a better computer.

Yes, if I move them to a new folder, I'm sure that will help.
But why does My Do ents have a limit? I'm not even using 10% of my computers capacity. It's just weird to me the My Do ents can get full.

is it not so wonderfully that bill gates is such a re

another problem could be that you have many processors running which you dont know,

hit alt+f4+ctl and the window pops up with applications running you dont even know, some of them can be turned of, and the ones you dont know just leave it or else it s up and needs a reboot.

icons on desktop/quickstart/system tray, the less the better cose it hogs memory and takes n long booting up into windows n icons....

No, my memory isn't getting hogged. That's what you guys aren't understanding. My memory usage is very, very low. This isn't a problem with the memory or disk space. It's just a problem with My Do ents.

No, I don't have Norton AV.

If you have 1000s in the top level of My Do ents, that's probably too many. You just need to move them into a subdirectory.

Also, another thing that can slow your comp down is having too many things on the desktop, although that tends to be noticed generally, not specifically in opening one directory.

Best advice so far.

specially the first part (since you have an empty desktop)

Download and run ccleaner (http://ccleaner.com/) once a month. It deletes all the temp files on your PC and it helps the general performance of the PC a lot. Not necessarily the solution to your specific problem but it may help also.
