    Windows Explorer crashes when viewing certain folders

    I have been following this thread since May 2003. Like many others, I too have found "fixes" that turned out to be only temporary. The problem always reoccurred. Finally, out of desperation I tried an experiment. I kept opening the same folder (containing image files) and it kept crashing...

    Windows Explorer crashes when viewing certain folders

    To All readers I realize this thread is getting pretty long and maybe hard to follow from the beginning. I would like to summarize for some of the latest participants: 1. The "crash" isn't really a hang. Explorer says it must close and asks if you want to send a report to Microsoft...

    Windows Explorer crashes when viewing certain folders

    I too have had the problem on numerous occasion. For a while it seemed to occur only with folders with specific .tif files. Renaming, copying, or moving them seemed to work around the problem. Since I do a lot of scanning of fairly large files in .tif format, I decided that a good work-around...
