There is very less you can do. Dfragment ur HDD or just replace it with higher RPM one.Kidding..
Just try to use this:
NOTICE QUrl::StrictModeQt Code:
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl("file:///C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Desktop", QUrl::StrictMode));To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
This should not make significant change but may be. Dont forget, that this will not check for validity of URL. Thats why it can speed up.
