If you've done a lot of rearranging, it might be well to run a disk check at your first convenient time. Right-click on your System Drive in Windows Explorer (C:\ probably?), Properties, then Tools. When you click on Error Checking|Check Now it will tell you that it can't do it now because it has to have complete control; but it will schedule it for the next time your computer starts. If you need to defer it, you can override and cancel the next time you boot. Allow an hour or two if you check the doitall choices.

The slow search to find what's at My Computer could mean that your file catalog is a bit tangled, and the check for errors (used to be CHKDSK, approximately) should unscramble things. "Tangled" doesn't mean there are errors - just that it's having to hunt around a lot to put the lists in order.)

Of course you'll do a full defrag once everything's loaded. ;<)
