i have a 110gb hard drive, 65gb used, 45gb free and 1.5gb of ram.

why does it take my music folder (12gb) at least a minute to open up from a double click?

depends how many programs you have running at once and when you have used that much space on your hard drive it will definitely slow your computer down significantly, your computer a labtop? its hard to come across a pc with that little of space on your hard drive

Windows has to load the directory / contents into memory.

One thing you could try is making major categories and breaking it down from there.

In other words chop the folder into 3 or 4 folders, and chop those folders up.

You could break it down like types of music, areas, time periods, whatever.

45 gigs is a pretty significant amount of space.

My computer at work has about 20 gigs free and I do fine.

Once your HD reaches the 20% free mark, you are gonna see significant slow down.

Word to the wise...your boot drive (the HD your PC boot's off of), should hever be more than 50% full. As a matter of fact, I always tell people to just put in a boot HD for strictly programs...and buy a SEPERATE non-bootable HD for all your media (music, movies, etc). This way, nothing gets cluttered.

yea i thought bout that but then i realized it could be broken down into too many categories... rap/rnb/bay/90's/old school/etc etc , just seemed like it would take longer to locate my music then originally.
