re: FINALLY AN ANSWER: explorer.exe crashes when folder with avi files is opened Wednesday, October 13, 2004 at 12:25 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Enipucrop (3 messages posted) OK, I found this somewhere and it has fixed my problem: =========== I had exactly the same problem until I came across this handy little registry hack. Run regedit and find the following key :- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler Delete the "Default" value then close. You should now be able to see .avi previews almost instantly but without the crashes ============== Hope it helps you too Written in response to: re: explorer.exe crashes when folder with avi files is
