[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 858697, member: 32260"] [B][USER=85707]polishpatriot[/USER],[/B] I think that we talk about two different things. The problems which are reported by home users, like a delay with opening the folder with hundreds of executables (first time after reboot), are related to the fact that WD treats such a folder as if it was never opened and never checked (cached) by WD. I performed a simple test: [LIST=1] [*][B]Disable WD real-time protection[/B] after reboot and open such a folder in Explorer ([COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]no delay[/B][/COLOR]). [*]Close Explorer and enable WD real-time protection. [*]Open this folder again =[B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] no delay!!![/COLOR][/B] [/LIST] In fact, I am not sure if WD performs any file caching while opening folders or simply checks if the folder was accessed in the current Windows session. If the folder was already opened (with file checking or without), then the second time the files are not checked. Anyway, it may be that such behavior is intended by MS due to the known problems with file caching. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
