This was great. Fixed my slow folder. I knew about making this change, but I was doing it at the folder level, which didn't work. Doing it at the drive level worked like a charm.

first one worked for me even though it was for a folder !, I still did the other one just in case, but it seems like the first one worked like a charm, and hey doing a disk cleanup never hurt nobody too!
