Just a thought, could it have anything to do with indexing?

Possibly.

Never turn off indexing in Win7 as it affects many different needed features, and is perfectly optimized to begin with.

Make sure it is on by right clicking HD>Properties>tick box.

In the HD GENERAL PROPERTIES tab Indexing is ticked for all my drives, but if I go to Control Panel and open INDEXING OPTIONS, then click MODIFY, I notice that only the following folders have a check mark next to them :
Internet Explorer History
Offline Files
Start Menu
Users
Windows Live Mail

PS: I haven't changed them, they have been like that ever since I installed Win7.
