My laptop gets slow when I open a folder with multiple .wav files
Hi
I've had this issue with my laptop and someone else's before.
I make a beat, then I export it out into multiple .wav files for mixing and stuff, then when I go to that folder in Windows Explorer, it takes forever to load (like the address bar takes forever to load) and slows my computer very very bad.
Then when it's done loading and I'm not using the folder anymore, the computer stays slow still.
I have 6GB RAM and over 300GB free in my HDD (more than 50% is available), so I don't think that memory could be the issue. But I could be wrong.
Has anyone had this problem before and is there a solution?
Also, this happens with only .wav files. Other folders with multiple .mp3 files are perfectly fine.
Also, when I try to delete any .wav file in folders containing multiple of these wav files, the computer freezes on the screen saying something like "preparing to recycle" and doesn't get past it... then I have to restart my laptop.
Thanks for any help.
