Why does XP take so long to display a long list of files - HELP!!!

Ayuda Hacer una pregunta
We have a four user peer to peer network connected using
a switch. Three machines are running Windows 98 and mine
has XP Professional. One of the machines is used to store
a large number of resumes (over 10000) in Word format with
shared access for all users. From any machine other than
the XP machine when the folder is selected to open, the
list of files is displayed almost instantaneously. When
accessing the folder from the XP machine it takes up to
thirty seconds to display the contents of the folder.
While the machine is trying to display the folder
contents a moving flashlight pops up.

Why is it taking so long to display the folder file list
contents from just the XP machine? How can I resolve this
issue?

Thanks for your help

Smells like the extra overhead of pulling metadata from file content.
Try a simpler folder view in XP, i.e. one that doesn't show things
like "summary info", who wrote what, etc.

The extra overhead could also be coming from an av that scans file
content when files are listed in the folder window... or indeed,
malware that does the same thing while trying to infect them!
