That's pretty funny. 320 subfolders. That's just plain sad. Why?

Obviously there are many better ways than this.

Was this a system with a realtime AV scanner running on it ? I had this downloaded demo program that was a single self-extrafting exe file of 450 megs. Every time I went to access the folder, Explorer appeared to hang and wouldn't do anything and several times I killed it and restarted Explorer...... .......As it turns out, I was just being impatient and not waiting long enough for the AV scanner to finish it's job. (Although, we *shouldn't* all *need* to use AV scanners anyway.......maybe that's one of the reason's my Linux box seems a bit snappier.)

Off topic: It's not your AV software but Explorer in XP+SP2+ scans the file looking for digital signatures. This was reported many times on Inno Setup groups with people who make large installers. Examples: Large signed installers and Vista http://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup/msg83093.html UAC on Vista takes a very long time to respond on large files http://news.jrsoftware.org/news/innosetup/msg77894.html
