This can slow your computer a lot and prevent deleting/renaming/moving/etc the file until it’s finished. Simply do the following steps: 1) Open a command window (Start->Run, type in 'cmd' hit enter) 2) To remove image preview, type and hit enter regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll 3) To readd image preview, type and hit enter regsvr32 shimgvw.dll 4) To remove media preview, type and hit enter regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll (RECOMMENDED) 5) To readd media preview, type and hit enter regsvr32 shmedia.dll The Credit goes to "http://www.tweakxp.com/tweak2123.aspx” If you have a large movie clip and it either is corrupt (ie. no index from a partial download) or it uses an unsupported codec, then Explorer tries to load the whole file.

All I did was uninstall K-Lite Codec pack. It didnt say anything about missing entries in the registry, but as soon as I uninstalled it my crashing problems stopped.
