Odd thing - Folder Properties in WinXP

Just started to notice an odd thing in my installation of Windows XP Pro at home - if I select Properties for a folder, it takes around a minute to show the Properties screen.

- File system is FAT32

- Size of folder contents is irrelevant - a zero size folder produces exactly the same delay as a large one.

- Choosing properties of a file or number of files, however, is okay.

- Yes, I have scandisk and defrag'd.

Nothing major - I can live with this no problem. Any thoughts?

Hmmm, M$ Windows..... <think, think, think>

What if it's not a problem but a 'feature'? :p

I have WinXP Home edition as well, but not the problem you mention.
Guess the next question is: what's in the box?
