Leak memory with Explorer.exe in the videos folder.

Leak memory with Explorer.exe in the folder of videos with thumbnails enabled. Using the resource monitor, I can see that explorer.exe is playback of video files, while the memory gradually increases until it is 99%. No such problem with memory leak when I put the provision 'list' (i.e. without thumbnails). Disabling thumbnails also eliminates the problem of memory leak, but this isn't what I want.  Main videos folder is. MKV files, with the codec video within the container MKV h.264 high profile. I tried to dissociate all media files with Media Player Classic Home Cinema (which I use to watch mkv videos).

More important, this problem seems only appeared after I installed SP1.

Win7 x 64 Ultimate SP1, C2D E8500 8 GB of RAM, Western Digital 2 to Green Caviar.

More info: I realized that this only happens with the video files that don't have any generated tile. It's like Windows Explorer is reading through the entire video file to generate a thumbnail, but even after awhile that yet, it does not generate a thumbnail.

How to fix? Help! Thank you!

OMG, I DISCOVERED WHY. IT IS DIVX HE WAS CAUSING. THE MOMENT I HAVE NOT UNINSTALLED NO MORE PROBLEMS! LIVE DIVX!

    I think that your problems are largely self-inflicted.  AVG antivirus was once a good product, its reputation has declined in recent years.  I have no personal knowledge of AVG Free a / v one way or another.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware should find most of the villains, but just in case, run ESET free Online Virus Scanner-->

    Hello zitouni,.

  • Explorer.exe keeps the name change, deletion etc. of media files.

    I do not know in which category falls THIS problem...
    Feel free to sort where it belongs to.

    The next thing happen very often:

    I can't rename a file or folder. It is not the permissions. It's allways explorer.exe locks the file. Logging and turn it on again solve the problem most of the time, so I can remove/rename the file Explorer. In cases where this does not work I opening of session and closing session again, open a cmd.exe shell and remove the file without problem.

    The types of files are .wma, .wmv, .mp3, .avi .jpg etc. all types of typical media files + a few others.

    If the source of the problem is continuation of behavior:
    Vista explorer.exe opens the file for read the news there, like extif of information in files .jpg, like mp3-ID3-tag, etc etc.
    Can we prevent the explorer.exe to open these files for playback and the verification of the information? Win XP, one way to solve it (partially) which was to unregister the shmedia.dll, in Vista, it seems to be "" wmploc. "." DLL", but I prefer first an email of confirmation.

    It's even worse with .exe files, where allways Vista (and XP) open the file to check for the icon resource, so on slow network, this leads to serious problems.

    Questions are...
    1. How can it be prevented that Vista opens various types of multimedia files to check their content and hang in part to the fact that (rename/delete prevention)?
    2. can it be prevented that Vista opens all .exe files to search for an icon resource, especially on the VPN or ANY network connection? I do almost all my (via VPN) stuff filecopy in a shell because I know that explore crashes after a few seconds due to this behavior.

    KB956592 is already installed, it helps a little, but only a little because it isn't the navigation folder that really does hang, it is the action of file - open (especially with the .exe).

    Before ask you: I have already change one of the biggest disadvantages of vista (this .reg file should explain itself if easy to do in words) so he checks any way content of the media due to the "automatic file type detection", but it always opens these files when they're accidentally hovering over these files and so crashes on certain files or make the undeletable and unrenameable.

    This kind of thing is confirmed by vista resource monitor and pious sysinternals (now wininternals) tools, I see that explorer.exe is the culprit.

    Don't worry, I still prefer Vista on XP :), it's just that he needs (such as XP and ALL other OS, no exception of Linux here!) adjustments for ease of use.

    Set

    reg file - against the boredom of the folder-

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [- HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU]

    You can use the fixit:
