Good to know. Thanks, Kevin. Explorer definitely keeps getting heavier and slower. Looks like it's about time for a simple explorer-like app that doesn't have all of the extras like thumbnail viewing, metadata, application hooks, etc.... simple file listing and registry-based association.

The degeradation comes from using explorer. We have an imaging application the gets upwards of 250,000 file in it. We has issues with explorer taking hours to display the files to manually archive them. We had to write a program to archive them to avoid the pain of explorer. What took all day manually, because of waiting for the listing to appear, takes a few minutes with the .net program we wrote to archive the files to another disk. The degradation would depend on the application and how you are listing the files.
