Hello Karen, I did receive your email. However I was out of town and on leave for most of last week. I'll need to do some testing and chat with the Developers. However, I can't give you an exact answer from a technical perspective at this time as any comments from me on this issue would be pure speculation.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Also, if the Classic BrailleNote also took a long time to process the opening of this folder, I wouldn't question it, but that's not really the case. It's the network card that has me puzzled and why the MPower is so much slower in processing this information without it.

With a large number of files (I think I remember one being 1000+), you are asking the BN and operating system to do a lot of work in terms of retrieving, collating and sorting those entries and, therefore, I'm not surprised it takes a long time - although five minutes does seem a bit excessive! Sorry, don't have any thoughts on the network card aspect.
