Windows Explorer can read Pictures and Videos folders faster if folder type is set to General Items instead of Pictures or Videos:

That's not properties window of folder My Pictures. That's properties for a totally different thing, Pictures library.

Open your user folder, right click My Pictures and follow instructions on screenshot in my last post.
