Recently I've been experiencing a strange problem. When I try to open a certain folder while browsing through "my computer", it takes around 5 seconds for the browser to access it.
The window pretty much freezes, and there's continuous HD activity during the wait time.
This started around 2 days ago, I haven't done any changes to that folder though. It basically contains around 6 GBs of music and game mods.
Strange is that the folder opens immediately if I access it through a desktop shortcut.
The folder is located in my 80 GB hard drive, which has around 10 GBs of free space now. It's the only folder that shows that problem.
I've tried defragmenting and freeing space to no avail as well.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
