Deleting files takes too long [solved]

[twinsen]

Solved (XP only).
The problem affected windows explorer to a lesser degree too.
Empty recycle bin (a large number of small files caused a long delay when deleting files).
Also disabling "1394 Network adapter" not only seemed to make Explorer++ delete files faster, but everything is faster.

Try "Long Path Tool ” is also useful in situations where you see these error messages: Cannot read from source file or disk, there has been a sharing violation, cannot delete file or folder, the file name you specified is not valid or too long, the source or destination file may be in use and many other file managing errors.
