Its kinda stagnant to be digging into my own mistakes all the time, lets be a bit more adventurous by looking at what other people do as well. And which software has a large number of bugs with a huge user base? That has to be Micro$oft.
Alright, here goes.
If you encountered issues with your windows explorer slowing down and even hanging on you at wierd times, take a look at your task manager, its probably eating your CPU cycles. What may have happened is that during your traversal of folders in Windows Explorer, it got stuck with retrieving certain meta for some files, particularly AVI files. So one way is to disable Windows Explorer's nosey behaviour through the following methods.
Pls backup before you do the following
1. Start --> Run --> type regedit
2. Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
3. Delete it
Note: This will also solve issues where you can't delete certain avi files.
Note: You can extend this method to extensions of other types as well.
