If any of you downloaded movies off torrent, you will probably know what kind of files are in the folder (.nfo and the movie). Whenever I do something in the folder (dragging the file or opening them) my explorer.exe crashes. Only these types of folders crashes. I looked up on google and couldn't find any fixes that work for me. Anyone know what is going on?
 
Do you use a codec pack like k-lite? If so remove it and see if the crashes stop.
 
I had the problem once when I was on XP. I had to edit a key down in the registry. If I remember correctly the thumbnail cache was getting corrupted, which in turn casued explorer to crash.

Google it and you'll find the answer.
 
turn off thumbnail view


if you cant get into *that* folder, do it on another, and under folder options, tell it to apply to all folders
