when I have a newly obtained movie file on my desktop I place it in another folder after appropriately seeding. My problem is that when I open up my movies folder and then the movie folder my computer freezes giving me the "Windows explorer has discovered a problem and needs to shut down error" it then wants me to send a error report blah blah blah. I sometimes have to Cntrl Alt Del and end the movie folder process to get out of it. If i keep the file on the desktop and not in a folder I have no problems. All the files play fine and I have no virus according to my scan. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Is there some setting I got messed up with Windows that doesn't like me placing video files in folders (seems silly but I am lost). Not really torrent related I know, but these are torrent D/L's. Help
Try a little programm called "ShellExView", you can get it at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html All you need to do is open Shell Extensions manager, find Avi Properties Handler in extensions list and disable it, this should help.
Okay I got the program, thanks for the advice. However I still have a question, there are a lot of shell extensions running on my computer at once. Is there any other that are necessary to have on? What are the consequences of turning them off. Sorry to bug you on this but I am relatively new to the whole concept of shell extensions, purpose and what not. If you have the time to educate me or point me in the direction I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help!!!!
I tried disabling the AVI properties handler and I still have the same problem. I tried disabling the real player handlers as well (I never use real player but there are some handlers, non microsoft that I thought may be interferring). Any other ideas?
Well, i'm not expert in extensions at all and would suggest not to touch any other extensions before you get to know what it could result in. Disabling Avi Properties Handler helped to me, after i disabled it but did you try this method of disabling thumbnail view? When you open folder under View-> you could try to set it to show titles or icons only. What it looks like then?
