I don't know why you have problems, unless you both have exceedingly slow
systems, but on my pokey p200, it reads the djgpp/bin directory with no
problems.  Part of it might that, with a normal djgpp installation, there's
between 20-50MB of executables, and windows would scan each one to see if it's
a windows exe (thus having an icon file in its resource section to load).
That's the only thing I can think of.
