    Does anybody have an idea why the explorer crashes every single time I enter a folder containing videos (any format *.avi, *.mpeg , etc)? It's pretty annoying and makes simple tasks very hard to do.

      Preview. If the video files are corrupt, the Explorer might crash while trying to render the preview thumbnail. Use the "list"-layout to prevent it from crashing instead of strip or thumbnails.

        It doesn't matter which type of view I use and the videos don't seem to be corrupt.

          Is it all of them, or just one in particular?

            This happens for all folders containing any kind of video.

              Problem solved : I have installed the latest codec pack (KLite) and it works, although I don't see the connection, probably a backround worker made the explorer crash.

                Naw, I still believe that the codec probably crapped it's pants while creating the thumbnail, taking the explorer with it. Happens all the time. ;)
