    I understand what you mean Rossco... and even if that is what he meant, what good would that do me if the folder had shut down?

    The first time this happened I was trying to access a movie on my hard drive. Now I am trying to access a cd to watch a movie by going into My Computer and opening the movie directly from the DVD drive. I could have simply opened the player, but I like seeing the movie in the drive first of all, and secondly I like to have the list display my players as opposed to me going into my folder where all my shortcuts are located that have my players isolated.

    Anyway, I dont think he was really clear on the problem or solution. Nevertheless the problem is solved.

    Cheers!!!

    You should check the option to open folders in a new process to stop the whole shell from chrashing..

    Anyways this also could be a bug in a codec you have installed too, I remember Divx had a bug that caused that.

    yeah somethin like that
    i know theres an option to restart explorer when you shut it down
    think you can get a menu to browse to explorer.exe and start it or somethin
    cant remember, havent had to do it in a while, haha

    -edit- rossco posted the process, didint see that

    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    I understand computers are frustrating, but theres no reason for you to channel that negative energy onto me.

    Not channeling... you just didnt post anything I found worthwhile. I apologize if you felt it was 'negative energy' Take a feng shui class and the world shall be at one again. Burn some Nag Champa, and have some Chai tea while you're at it.

    God bless the universe and may the force be with you.

    MM is out and about... running frantically with his 733 PENTIUM fkr and lovin' his XP.

    HA!!!!!!!!!! Thanks fkd7497682-13.2(0)subchapter2 ummmm....

    We can close this post because I should have just taken danb's advice in the first place, bcuz he was 100 percent correct. Just take off the media preview and you are good to go.

    Thanks to all who have helped me in the past and will help in the future, and remember, its 148 am and dont take life too seriously folks... its too fkn short!!!!
