My computer (explorer.exe) continues the search for readers/records.

Hi experts, I need help on my PC.
After working with my PC for several hours and minutes when I click/Open 'My Computer' it continues the search for my hard drives and folders in libraries, favorite & computer. He just continues to research and does not display my partition/HARD drive. http://i793.Photobucket.com/albums/yy217/aznix2020/Untitled.PNG
However, its not freezing or hang up and I can always open my drives/folders by using the command run and after a while it will work fine again.
Is not a serious problem at the moment because it works well after a while but it's a hassle.
Also im wondering if this is my drive display relationships safely remove HARD in the options in the task bar. Although the option remove appear for less than a month before I encountered this problem.
My PC is win7 32 bit sp1. Thanks in advance.

  • 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.
