I'm running IE5.50.4134.0600 with Windows 98 and find that navigating thru
my directory structure, either by double clicking the My Docs icon on the
desktop, or choosing it thru My Computer, generally gets slower the deeper I
get into the structure.

New windows open more slowly, clicking up also then is slow to return to the
previous directory.

Is this a) my PC, a 380Mhz AMD K6-2 with 128MB Ram b) IE 5.5 or c) something
entirely different?

Apologies for the cross posting if that's contra to any groups FAQ.

Si.
