File this under "Minor annoyance that has become a PITA."
Any time I click My Computer, or otherwise enter Windows Explorer, I don't get an immediate screen showing "My Computer."
Windows (XP Pro SP2) takes it's sweet time and inventories both my CD drives, spinning them both slowly up to speed. I haven't changed the CDs in there in months. Two games I'm not done with yet. I reboot every few days or so...it's not like I'm out of memory or anything is wrong with the box.
It just takes TOO DARN LONG to see the list of my drives. You would think Windows would REMEMBER what it just saw 5 minutes/hours/days ago. If the CD drives haven't opened and no no partitions have been created, then why the delay?
Same thing happens with "Save As." It takes 10-15 seconds to get to the "browse" part of the procedure.
Any way to speed this up?
ps
CD drives operate perfectly. Read/Write/Rip/Whatever
