Hello,

The windows explorer green progress bar has become a real big drag on my
system. I have the ultimate on destops and a laptop. I have been using the
laptop mostly and the folder exploring has alomost become a nightmare. The
laptop has enough power (2Hz Intel CPU and 2G memory) and I definetely don't
think that is an issue here.

Every clik on a folder triggers whatever is indicated by the progress bar.
It is almost like a search. If I were click on one immediately following by
another one and so on, the bar starts up all over again. I have turned off
indexing and I don't remember something else. It is like OCD, because
everytime vista seems to take slowest possible route to the destination.

I believe, this is a synchronization issue. All the modules (vista and the
oem program modules) still need to agree on priority etc. With more processor
cores and memory the problem could become unneccesarily complicated and for
the worse.

Would love hear about possible solutions.

Howdy Brink,

Thanks for the info. I remember looking it up long time ago. Will check it
out again. I wonder how a "normal" user deals with such issues.

Each time you view a folder containing photos (JPG, TIF files) or movies
(AVI, MPG, WMV files), Windows Explorer opens each one to extract and
build thumbnail previews for the file icons. If even one file in the
folder is corrupted, or if one of the files makes use of a corrupted
codec on your system, Windows Explorer crashes.
To fix this problem, you need to do two things. First, figure out which
file is crashing Explorer. Of course, since you can't view the folder in
Explorer without it crashing, you'll have to turn off the thumbnails
feature first. On the System page in Control Panel, click Advanced
system settings, and then in the Performance box, click Settings. Turn
off the Show thumbnails instead of icons option, and click OK.
