Lagging Windows Explorer

[aric49]

I`ve had this problem ever since i upgraded to Win98 SE. What happens is, Sometimes when I`m trying to access folder via Windows Explorer, Explorer severely lags. Sometimes i have to wait atleast 12 seconds before it even responds with opening a folder. But the strange thing is, some days my folders open very fast, some days they open really slow. Whenever I`m exploring the hierarchy of folders, i allways do it the same way: I close out of all the programs I`m currently runnign to conserve ram, so it isnt due to lack of ram. I also explored the spyware possibility, I ran Spybot SAD, and Adaware, and spyware Doctor.. Nothing. I dont know if its because i have it set to Single Click, (I REALLY love this feature) but i turned it off, and i still get the lag. My Theroy is that its due to something wrong with the registry.

My PC:
HP Pavilion 4440
4 gig Hard Drive
64 Megs of Ram
333MHz Processor Clock


Thank You.
