Thank you bigpup and here is the list. The "slow" usb stick is on the top line.

Mike, Thank you for that, but I am not sure that I can do anything about it, because my ISP is Pop3. Is there a way that I can change to IMAP collection of emails without causing havoc on my system?

Ah ok yes that does limit possibilities.
Just posted as part of my 'keep yer save small' campaign )

If you ever feel like a change gmx.com are pretty good webmail that offer pop and imap and free storage. You can usually forward or grab mail from an existing account which makes changing address easier. It also frees you from being tied to a particular ISP.

Well glad mystery solved anyway.

In Windows.
Run chkdsk on the 8GB drive.
Could be something wrong with the Vfat file system on it.

If you had anything put on it by Windows. There is a chance the file system is fragmented.
Run Windows defrag on it to see.

The sub Stick is checked automatically every time I use it and then go into Windows. I tried to defrag. but the response was that it did not need it. Anyway, Puppy crashed and I could not recover the screen display, so I formatted the usb and re-installed Puppy. It works better now, but it is still noticeably slower that Puppy on another usb. I can live with that. Life is too short to waste it looking for what is not there.

Many thanks for your help,

Alex
