When I use the Windows file explorer GUI:
Expanding the top level node ("Arbeitsplatz" = I think "My Computer" in English),
where all the drives are shown, takes a while.
But when I then navigate to some subdirectory on local drive C:,
that is quite quick, and the same speed with or without slow drive Q: connected or not.

When I use a MS-DOS command prompt ("cmd"):
When I navigate using Windows' "cd" to navigate through the subdirectories
on local drive C:, that is very quick, and the same speed with or without 
slow drive Q: connected or not.

Thanks
Paul
