I can do that, although it has no value as my machine wont remember the settings from one folder to another. They are proprietary apparentely... because for instance when I change the view to "list" in one folder and then go to another folder that is obviously not showing "list" but showing say "tiles" and change it to "list" then go to another folder... it wont be "list".

I surely hope this is what you mean. If not.... then fill me in. I may just need a format.

I will try the codec thing... but it may be that my hd is so overladen with crap it is time to backup and fdisk the whole damn shite!!!!

I installed the KLite Codec pack and voila!!!!! Problem is cured. Thanks. Also, I can view widescreen movies in fullscreen which I couldnt get bsplayer or VlC to do. Thanks again!!

did u turn off webview yet? I bet that will solve the problem. Tools > folder options... > under tasks (show windows classic folders)

Tools -->> Folder Options -->> View -->> Apply To All Folders...

Remove image preview . Worked for me when I had that problem

BTW, I use XP but not XP default... I use Classic view.

I think I could have used that remove image/media preview trick... and/or could have set my folder options the way backlash and reality said, but I like to change the way I view different folders. Anyway, the problem was apparently that I was missing the code and it has been solved.

Thanks

I could have made a new thread... but hopefully someone will read this and maybe be able to figure this out.

As originally posted it seemed the problem was happening with only the file that I downloaded the subtitles. I got the Klite codec pack and that seemed to fix that problem.

Today I popped a movie that I burned onto a cd as data.. avi... and when I access the folder through windows explorer, it shuts down explorer. I was given info to download a new version of the klite codec pack... so I did... but still had the problem. Someone told me to restart my computer. I did so... same problem, windows explorer shuts down, although no dialog box pops up now.

Any ideas?

When explorer.exe shuts down, why not just keep the folder open. And then go File>>New Task>>type in "Explorer". That should enable it again right?
