SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the File Open dialog box from a 16-bit Windows-based application,
the system becomes busy for an unreasonable length of time before it displays a
list of files.
CAUSE
=====
The 16-bit File Open common dialog box has a much longer access time if the
directory being viewed has more than 1000 files. The increase in the amount of
time before the file list appears is not proportional to the increase in the
number of files.
WORKAROUND
==========
Reorganize the directory into smaller groups and move the files into
subdirectories.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This
problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
