Thanks Ray

I clean up the temp files about once a week. I learned a long time go
that whinedoze likes to keep lots of temp files if apps don't close the
way Bill likes them to close. I had no problems with any other programs
other than Photoshop. And unplugging the card reader instantly restored
the speed to Photoshop. Must be something about constantly checking all
drives for space whenever it does any operations.
