Thanks Steve,=20

The Graham Utilities work great, I've used it to defrag the hard drive.

Problem is that I still have the same problem I thought it would fix. =
Which is that it takes the best part of a minute to do a "DIR *.LST>NUL" =
where there are 44,000 ".LST" files!

If anyone has any ideas on how to optimise (I've played with the cache =
size - only goes upto 2Mb :(
( Its a 200MHz Pentium with 64 Mb RAM)

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Even if its just to say that's how =
long it takes for that many files. Thanks,

Peter
