Speed Up Viewing Folders In Windows 7

I've been working on a huge collection of personal audio today and eventually I became tired of how long it took for folders to open or for the folder names to become selectable when I F2d them. So, I checked the folder properties and it was set for general files (under the customize tab). I changed it to music. Voila! Faster! That's all you really need to do to speed up a folder view! Of course, it differs for different file-types, and if you really have a folder filled with all kinds of different extensions it probably won't get any faster with this method. You could always experiment a bit though; see if specifying the folder for one type of files works faster than the the other settings.

Note that when I say speed up I'm speaking about regular loading times. In my case it was a few seconds per folder when really it shouldn't take more than one, so this was a quick fix for the issue. The file-types contained within this specific folder were MP3, WAV & TXT. Mostly MP3.
