This is very annoying for things like ebay and photo sites where you really need to be looking at folders, not a huge array of filenames or thumbnails.

Just to make myself completely clear:

Opening the my pictures folder directly takes a long time to populate the list of pictures and folders.

Viewing the photos in my pictures from the library in folder mode takes a long time.

Viewing all the pictures at once from the "by day" option in windows 7 libraries is near instantaneous.

I've tried reindexing to no avail.

This problem occurs even if I close then immediately reopen the same folder.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot.
What are your system specs?

Have you tried to defrag the hdd, MyDefrag is an awesome tool

How long is a "VERY long time"?
