Everybody knows that windows is getting slow after month of usage.
One purpose are directories with thousends of files as
"c:\Dokuments and settings\%username%\Recent"
"c:\Dokuments and settings\%username%\cookies"
"c:\Dokuments and settings\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\McAfee\Common Framework\AgentEvents" when using McAfees VirusScan
and so on.
I haven't found a way to find this directories using the search funktion.
It would be nice to have an option to search for directories with more than (>=) x (i.e. 1000) files or just empty directories (= 0) ...

What's your comment, thanks for investigation.

Alt+F7 (find files)
"Plugins" tab
"Plugin" dropdown list: find "dirsizecalc" (can be found here)
"Property" dropdown: FileCount
"OP" dropdown: >
"Value": 1000

empty directories: likewise :)
