kari, for me its about being efficient. I like the looks of 7 too but 7 is far from being an efficient os. If I'm not mistaken, the BETA's were snappier than the final. Simple tasks like selecting a Folder or Drive letter in the left pane of explorer prompts lag. It never responds as fast as I want to move.
I click Drive E (an external) to expand the folders and start scrolling down to the bottom of 87 folders and select the 87th folder. What happens? Windows finally catches up and scrolls back up to the top and stops at E again. I then need to rescroll and select the 87th folder again only to wait to resort by Date Modified because while 7 knows I want the folder by Date Modified, it has to perform that task each time I select that folder. Waiting and waiting. Im on a i7 with 4g ram so its not like I am too far away from trying to achieve simple tasks efficiently.
hium, I don't think your problem is win7 or your CPU. It is the speed of the disk. You are candidate for a couple of SSDs.
Thanks. Good to hear that. I've often wondered if that might be better for my application. Good thing is that I dont work with many RAW imagines which I know takes longer to populate.
Im still not entirely convinced there isnt a way to have explorer remember thumbs because this was never an issue before with XP. In fact, my right pane of explorer often populated at the blink of an eye on older machines.
I did try the General Items TIP and that does help a bit.
Well, for the RAW images, your graphics card (or on-board) plays a big role too.
If you have Superfetch enabled, it should be a lot faster the second time around.
