"New Folder/Shortcut" options under File menu gets too much delayed

[kishorraut]

I am using windows 98 SE, my problem is while creating a new folder/shortcut by using Windows Explorer, options under File menu like "New Folder", "New Shortcut" gets too much delayed to appear. What could be the problem.
Thank you very much.

I sorta have this problem as well, but my problem is that i have about 8 or 9 different new applications I can create, other than a new folder and shortcut. That adds some lag time for that box to come up. When yours says New ---> do you have a lot of other new program files you can add?

Make Your Win98 Computer a "Powerful PC!
As you Win98 users know, you can set the "Typical Role of your PC" in the Control Panels System
applet. The usual tweak is to set it to "Network Server" for increased file-system performance.
However you can add one more choice: "Powerful PC" which will give your file-system an even
further boost. "Powerful PC" sets VFAT (the Virtual File Allocation Table in RAM) so that it
will remember about twice as many files and folders as the "Network Server" setting. Sound like
something you'd like to try? Well then, back up you Registry and read on:
