I have a on going issue where any time I open a folder in windows explorer and some of the files in the folder are video files (format does not seem to matter, e.g. .avi, mpeg etc...) the explorer window freezes and if I do it quickly enough and do an end task on the not responding explorer window my computer doesn't fully lock up.
Opening video files with a program like VLC (File - Quick Open file) works fine and I can explore a directory via that way. but I cannot use windows explorer (or my computer) to look at those folders. If there are no video files in the folder I have no problems, for example I could look in a folder with picture files without issue, but if there was one video file in there (whether it was from my camera or downloaded movie clip or full movie) it will lock up the explorer window and possibly my entire PC.
This issue is on both of my hard drives and removable media storage like flash drives or CDR's. DVD's or videos opened in VLC play fine... any ideas whats going on?
