How to speed up folder opening [Win7]

How to speed up folder opening [Win7]

I had a problem with the slow loading of folders on Win7, until recently. When I opened the folder, I waited for a while to read all the items from it. That green progress, at least upstairs, was filled with incredible slowness, which annoyed me.

I searched a bit on the net, I concluded something myself and came up with a simple and effective solution. You will not need any program or complicated settings for this, everything is easy.

We all know, and maybe not, that Windows7 optimizes each folder for something special, for example, One folder only for images, another only for video clips, the third for music… When a folder is set for images, when you open it windows will scan the entire folder (which can take a long time if you have multiple items) to find all the images. And that's where the problem arises, you don't have any images in the folder and it loads as if you have a bunch of them.

We will change this now.

1) First open that "problematic" folder. Find the "Organize" option at the top left and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.

If it loads very slowly for you and you don't want to open it, just find the path to it (where it is) and right-click and select "Properties".

2) In the new window, select the "Customize" tab. Under the name "Optimize this folder for" it will write "Pictures" (or something else), you click on it and select "General items".

Conclusion: Windows will now not optimize the folder for a particular file type, and will not scan it during the opening.

X96 Mini Android TV Box Review

I have already written an article about buying an Android TV Box for up to 30 euros, and now I am writing about one such device - the X96 Mini TV Box . There is not much to say about this device, its price is around 25 euros, it is an Android TV Box like any other, which means that it is powered by an Android system. Since I wrote about it in the previous article, I will not repeat myself. These cheaper TV Box devices differ mainly only in the chip, amount of RAM, and ROM memory. In the previous article, I wrote about what to pay attention to when choosing, and I chose this device that way.

Total War Shogun 2: The Fall of the Samurai

Fall of the Samurai is the first solo expansion for Total War: Shogun 2  was set in Japan during the Boshin War in the 1960s. It is a civil war that began as an ideological struggle due to the pro-Western policy of the shogunate. Clans that were against this policy fought against the shogunate and to restore power to the emperor, while during the war both sides used weapons that were no longer classic for Japan in the last century, but also used rifles and armor. The result is a unique environment: samurai who use forged swords, but also rifles and everything that that time brought.
