Hmm, forgot to mention Symantec AntiVirus... which brings up the
quesiton, could it be your antivirus (or maybe anti-adware) software
that causes the slowdown for you? (Even if it for some reason shows up
for Explorer?) One might think that anti-adware software could install
some hooks to look especially closely at any "installers" being
run. Although, one wonders how long it can take for adware writers to
get the hint and start calling their installers something else than
install.exe...
