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.
