When I download files and explorer opens to the appropriate
folder, there are already many files in the folder and it
seems to take a while for the icons next to the file names
to appear. Is there any way to display the files without
loading all the icons?

[[List view displays the contents of a folder as a list of file or folder
names preceded by small icons. This view is useful if your folder contains
many files and you want to scan the list for a file name. You can sort your
files and folders in this view; however, you cannot display your files in
groups.

Details
In Details view, Windows lists the contents of the open folder and provides
detailed information about your files, including name, type, size, and date
modified. In Details view you can also show your files in groups.

Thanks very much, but it's actually this 'list view' that I
was talking about. When I go to download a file my browser
(Opera) opens the standard dialogue box and then when I
save, it opens explorer to my designated folder. It's this
folder view that seems to take a while to load. I see the
first files with their 'little' icons next to the names,
then after a while the others seem to load. It seems
rather like a cascading effect (slow though). Not sure if
this is normal or not. I thought that if there's a way to
'not display' the little icons then it would display much
faster....??
