Explanation:
WinXP analyses a folder's content on opening through explorer.exe ....
this is where you get those 'common tasks' (the former web-view) from
(i'm sorry, if those names are wrong, but im currently on a german XP
built, so i don't know their english names for sure).. windows detects
if there are mainly pictures, videos, musicfiles, or whatever in the
current folder... so there often occurs a problem with DivX-files: you
can't delete them becauses explorer.exe tries to detect, what they
actually are... now, this DivX file may be say damaged or simply yet
incomplete ... so win can't finalize its analyse (bad handling of
incomplete divx content) ... and 'hangs' with 100percent CPU usage...
and the inability to delete the file.
Conclusion:
DISABLE this 'feature' (detecting which kind of files a folder
holds).. so you gain the additional benefit of not getting those new
autoplay functions for cds without autoplay.
Problem:
i have absolutely no clue how to disable this feature or if it is
possible at all... if ANYBODY knows how you could do that... PLEASE
post!
