Frankly very irritating - Seems to happen with folders containing media files - images or mpegs or a mixture of.
I've just recently transferred a Gig's worth of images from my camera to HDD but am unable to view or move them as explorer freezes whenever I open the folder, prompting a restart every time.
This kind of thing is happening with increasing regularity on my PC, a windows reinstall is in the offing, but don't have the time to do this for a while.
Is there a quick fix?
I think it may have to do with the way windows caches media files or thumbs of ... but not sure.
Have a decent amount of RAM and processing power (1gb & 2.8Gb respectively), so not due to low resources.
Any help appreciated!
Cheers
