FYI: Just opened two folders, one with 50.1 GB and 49,905 files. The other with 17.4 GB in 4063 files. No hang ups or freezes no matter what hoops I put it through. How much RAM do you have in your system?

Thanks for testing!
I have 2 GB of RAM and I run Windows Vista HP. I tested a little bit of this and that, too, and found out that the program which uses all my CPU when ACB loads is in fact Norman Virus Control (well it came with the computer!). If I turn off the real-time scanning in Norman, ACB has no problem opening my download folder.

Other file managers (like PowerDesk or XYplorer) load fast whether Norman is on or off. So Norman and ACB don't like each other?

You might want to check out ProcessTamer. Written by none other than DC's own Mouser. Terrific utility that keeps resource hogs in check. I joined DC because I was so impressed with it! :)

Thank you! I will certainly check it out.
I have just bought AnVir Task Manager Pro, which is a great tool for tracking processes, services, start-up programs etc. One of its features is to limit CPU usage of background processes when it exceeds certain level.
