Very wired, I've created a sub folder and named it 'Verity' under 'My Pictures' folder. I have copied and saved photos in it. If I am about to open the sub folder 'Verity' this action takes about 1,5 min before I'm allowed to view it's contents. To my amazement if I change the name of the folder to anything else e.g. (Temp, MIX etc.) then the action is done within a climbs. Any idea what could cause this strange behavior? Thanks!

The Folders with a "My" are often connected to applications. Now it is possible that once you touch such a Folder those applications first update an internally used Database, which may take some extra time.

Hello Markus, thanks for your comments, but as I mentioned I'm amazed if I name the folder 'Verity' this behavior happen, but other names does not have the same results, so, what?s behind this name that makes the system take longer time before it makes me view the folder contents? I tried and copied the folder 'Verity' outside the 'My Pictures' folder and it seems to work fine. the strange part is the same folder in 'My Pictures' is also woking fine now ;-8. Any way thanks for you effort. Manuel
