All other aspects of my PC are working fine, except for this crazy delay when I click "My Computer".



John, I'm certain that your computer is OK as far as the Windows configs and drivers are concerned, a restore the way you've described is unlikely to resolve anything. The problem is associated with a drive letter that is having access problems.

Certainly if the problem is related to the Windows configuration then using the current registry will keep the problem, err, current...

Have you rebooted yet? In almost all Windows issues this should be your first step.

You haven't responded as to whether you're on a network with shared drives. This can also be a problem area as a drive letter mapped to another machine across a network with problems or to a machine with comms problems will certainly cause this.

You're only paranoid if you're wrong!
