Now we are getting somewhere my friend - now they show !! - What no GoKay - delete them???
Just rename them to desktop2.ini, and and then run the fixer. You should get a new desktop.ini then
I wonder why you have a lock on that 1st ini file.
There is good news and bad news I am afraid - after all that, I did get it to work and recreated the ini file - - - but - - - the problem is still there - sorry - but thank you so much for trying to help me GoKay
It's alright, we had to try.
Does this happen for folders in, say, C or other partitions/drives?
Try cleaning with CCleaner, scan registry too with it.
It only happens with DESKTOP - If I open C:\ then any folders within there will open immediately but if it is folder on the desktop - perhaps the shorcut to C:\ or to My Photographs - or perhaps if working within another program or Firefox .... return to the desktop - delay, that is if nothing has been clicked on the desktop for 30 seconds or more - then the delay happens ! -
Hmm, those all should be shortcuts. Does it happen with new shortcuts to those folders?
Yes - I tried that - I have a partitioned drive - C: and D: and store photos on the D: - I created a desktop shortcut from My Photos and if I open it from the desktop, I get the delay, but directly from the D:\ partition - instantly opens !
It is almost as though there is a time limit set in the registry somewhere which says if nothing happens, go through all the files again and hence the delay.
